Arrangers: Larry Blackmon; Charlie Singleton . 1984's SHE'S STRANGE is a pivotal album in Cameo's history, the fulcrum between the sleek electronics of 1986's WORD UP and the horn-powered George Clinton-style funk of the band's earlier records. The hit title track, the minimalist ballad "Love You Anyway," and the hip-hop-influenced "Talkin' Out the Side of Your Neck" point toward the future. But after that opening barrage, the rest of the album reverts to a more familiar direction, culminating in the dramatic, soulful "Hangin' Downtown," one of Cameo's most powerful ballads, and the Rick James-like punk-funk of "Le Ve Toi." Surprisingly, the new influences mesh well with the older Cameo sound, making SHE'S STRANGE much less uneven and dated-sounding than many R&B albums of this post-Prince era.
