Yoyo

The second and final Bourgeois Tagg album was also the band’s most successful, thanks to the low key but still Top 40 charting “I Don’t Mind At All,” a short, sweetly orchestrated and sung breakup ballad that also had a notable video. All the same, Yoyo is an audibly late 80s major label effort – there’s an awkwardness in a lot of the songs, with Todd Rundgren’s usual production polish servicing an airless stiffness masquerading as slick pop/funk more than once – but whenever Brent Bourgeois and Larry Tagg harmonize the results are very attractive.
