The Posthumous Tribute

Review Score: (4/10)
Just after Karen's death, Richard went back to the studio to record another album, featuring tunes that didn't make previous albums. While a touching album, it really is just a compilation of "outtakes." The first song "Now" is clearly the best, but there are other good parts to the album also. "Make Believe it's Your First Time" became a Top Ten Adult Contemporary hit in 1983, but the version on Karen's solo album seems to be better. "Your Baby Doesn't Love You Anymore" is another highlight, reminiscent of "Hurting Each Other", but it never broke the Hot 100. "Look to Your Dreams" is a fitting closing, but overall, this album is a combo of some of the group's less than stellar material.
