Killer Cameo. I've lost and bought this thing several times. Simply cannot be without it. She's Strange, the title track is a classic. And Love You Anyway and Tribute To Bob Marley are fine tracks.
Talkin' Out The Side Of Your Neck is a Ten.
Overall the whole thing is a little more raw and fresher sounding than the more polished and produced Word Up. Cool Sound!

Cameo's second studio album, ( their first was 1983's Style) on their new Atlanta Artists label( distributed by Polygram records) was their breakthrough release, and heralded a eight year run of major label success. This 1984 release was one of my first forays into the musical genre called funk, and is one that, happily, has stood the test of tome. The big hit of this album was the title track, but I would agree with a fellow reviewer, in saying that it is not best track on offer. 'Love you anyway' would be the winner for that accolade, and even now, it still gets my feet moving, (which is no easy feat!) I love the mellow mid-tempo, 'Hangin' Down Town', and groove with you.
I wasn't feelin' 'Leve Toi', and the Bob Marley ( which, whilst it is great to see the boys paying tribute to such a great artist, doesn't work as a song, and is out of place on the album) I also like the sentiments expressed in 'Talkin' Out The Side Of Your Neck' but musically, it's no more than OK.This is a good album that lovers of funk will enjoy.

She's Strange is one of Cameo's most essential albums. Released in 1984, it was an interesting mix of musical styles. Cameo experimented with many different styles such as Reggae(Tribute to Bob Marley),Rap(The explosive title cut She's Strange),Rock(on the dynamic New Wave-Inspired track,Talking Out The Side Of Your Neck & Le Ve Toi)and even Jazz(with the smooth nite time grooves of Love You Anyway & Hangin' Downtown,Check out those Jazz Guitar Licks!). Of course, there's always room for a full-out dancefloor funk jam like Groove With You. All in all,Cameo flawlessly blends various musical genres and makes it their own sound without compromising the Funk. Even with all these musical styles,Cameo still makes this a funk album and manages not to get lost in the translation. She's Strange is a Remarkable mid-1980s effort from Cameo. Cameo's Originality & Innovation on this album & others puts to shame the artists in today's Urban music industry. Their brand of High-Tech,Rock-Influenced Funk,starting with 1982's Alligator Woman LP and ending with 1988's Machismo,provided a soundtrack for the Urban Funk Scene of the 1980s and ultimately signified the sound of that era. The highlights on this album include She's Strange with its undeniably funky groove & some sizzling electronic drum kicks and Talkin' Out The Side Of Your Neck for its political undertones & Hard-hitting Rock Riffs. As well as Le Ve Toi cuz the Cameo dudes sing the lyrics entirely in French! And ... Read More
