Dangerous Acquaintances
Genre: Aimless Pop
2.25 out of 5
So, Marianne Faithfull is a disco queen now? Sure sounds like it from that first track. Like she heard Blondie make a bazillion with a four-on-the-floor tune and decided that was the avenue for her.
TBH, I really have no relationship with Marianne outside of “Surabaya Johnny” from the Kurt Weill album where her raspy, almost Germanic, style worked wonders. Here, it flops. Alternately, the songs sound like Stones leftovers and Lou Reed castoffs. I don’t know who this is supposed to appeal to but I feel bad for the people who parted with $9.99 in 1981 ($30 in 2021 dollars!!!) for it.
