Player is a Los Angeles-based bar
which has released a self-titled debi
album, along with a debut single froi
that album, "Baby Come Back." T1
song has been climbing the charts late
and says a great deal about how the re
of the lp sounds - easy to listen to, bi
moretnan a little Diana, commercial ar
repetitious. The Player LP is, in shor
nothing to jump up and down over.
'Player' is not a bad album, simply a lei
than memorable one.
Maybe it is easy to become prejudice
against the album and-or the groi
because of the way "Baby Come Bacli
has been run into the ground by rad
stations. One can hear a song on tl
radio only so many times before he ge
band entert.
