Hot Summer Nights After an eight-year stay at Motown, Rick James moved to Reprise/Warner Bros. with 1988s Wonderful. By that time, the funkster wasnt nearly as popular as he had been in the late 70s and early 80s, and he hoped to make a major comeback with this album. Reprise was delighted when the single Looseys Rap (which features rapper Roxanne Shanté) went to number one on Billboards R&B singles chart, but Wonderful didnt contain any other major hits -- and it isnt hard to understand why. This is a very uneven effort that usually misses the mark, although it has its moments. To James credit, he doesnt spend the entire album trying to recycle Street Songs, and he doesnt inundate listeners with pale imitations of Super Freak and Give It to Me Baby. The singer tries different things, sometimes incorporating pop/rock, synth funk, and hip-hop elements. However, only a few of the songs are memorable -- most notably, the above-mentioned Looseys Rap, the Cameo-minded So Tight, and the dramatic ballad I Believe in U. Wonderful (which was James only album for Reprise) was an improvement over 1986s The Flag, but that isnt saying much because The Flag was the weakest album of James career. Hardly essential, Wonderful is only recommended to completists.
