The album was out of circulation when I was chasing down one of its songs. When I got it, it had more songs that I liked that I was unaware of. My bonus.

This is almost certainly the best album that this group has made, and you would think that with several hits and the talents of new member Kelly Moneymaker (her actual name), they would have made even more albums. Unfortunately, this was their last album except for a Greatest Hits collection. Kelly went on to a moderately successful singing/acting career, but at this point, Expose seems to be on a permanent hiatus.

Ask the under 25 crowd if they've heard of an all girl group called Expose and they'll probably respond "Who?" But ask them if they know "I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me" and most will say "I love that song." Testament to the strength of their talent, the Miami Sound, and Dianne Warren's pen, this group still is #1 in my heart when it comes to girl groups. I've got their early "Exposure" and their final album just shows they could change and grow as the '80's moved into the '90's. I agree that Arista just couldn't decide how to best promote their albums and DJs could testify as to how this group didn't get Arista's best efforts. Now that we've finished AI's fifth season I'd love to see a tribute series next season. Why not feature an Expose performance? I'm sure Mr. Davis can arrange this. Wouldn't it be sweet if AI invited its three best runner up ladies to form a trio? One thing's certain--there never will be another Expose.

When news came that Expos? was releasing their third album in 1992, I became extremely happy, for I had really enjoyed their first efforts. I first heard the lead single "I Wish The Phone Would Ring" on the American Top 40 countdown, and I was really disappointed. It did not sound like Expos?'s huge mainstream Top 10 smashes from the past. Then I saw the video and did not like it as well, and then I realized Gioia was missing and my disappointment grew stronger. A second single came, "I'll Never Get Over You (Getting Over Me)" and I fell in love with it, and it became my favorite song of 1993. Unfortunately, here in Costa Rica, the album was never seen on any record store shelves. At that time, I could not afford Billboard magazine, so I never realized that "As Long As I Can Dream" and "In Walked Love" were released as singles. Then came 1996 and I could find their Greatest Hits CD but the aforementioned songs were not included or mentioned, so my ignorance of those tracks continued for another couple of years. 2000 came and I discovered the album. It was then that I realized what a piece of art it was. Ann Curless is an AMAZING singer and Jeanette continued to deliver solid hits as well. Unfortunately, Kelly Moneymaker did not get to sing lead on any of the tracks, but her backing vocals are great. I believe Arista Records did a terrible job in marketing this album. It was probably because of three main reasons:
1. Gioia was no longer part of the group, and they ... Read More

Arista really got everything wrong with this album. They put the focus on the ballads due to the huge success of Wilson Phillips, but the fact is, there's a lot of upbeat material that would have been wiser to promote.
The good thing about this album is the diversity, after their first 2 album seemed to be cut from the same mould, this one has a lot of facets: house, r&b, freestyle and adult contemporary pop.
Ann Curless is really a talented singer, probably the best of the four girls. I wonder why she was never given the top spot, which Jeannette always seemed to get. Listen to "Angel" (probably the best song of the album) and hear how she shows her fabulous range. This song should have definitely been released as the first single. It's screaming for remixes! and Ann has never sounded that good. The same goes for I think I'm in trouble, which is a great house tune.
Arista released 4 singles, I wish the phone would ring is a good mid-tempo song, with a r&b flavour and with a good jeannette vocal. It's good, but It's not a good first single. Second, their top ten hit i'll never get over you getting over me. While I guess it was then a good choice as a single, I have to say I've never liked this song because of its too syrupy and saccharine lyrics and arrangements (same goes for their ballad i'll say goodbye for the 2 of us in their greatest hits). The last 2 singles were ballads sung by Ann, as long as i can dream and in walked love, which ... Read More
