Branigan (album)

Billboard praised the album, stating "don't be taken by Branigan's pretty yet dainty image she exudes on the cover art. This lady has a set of chops that she puts to maximum effectiveness on this collection of hot rockers and some mellower fare. Supported by studio hotshots like Steve Lukather, Lee Sklar, Michael Boddicker, Bob Glaub and others, Branigan's voice explodes with a fury, making it clear that she's in the same league as her competition." AllMusic was more mixed in their review, commenting that "this album, despite being worth checking out simply for Branigan's powerful voice, is middling at best. Though she finds nuances in lyrics and melodies that are not up to her talent, the production often bogs the album down, especially on the ballads." ==Track listing==
