"Look Up!," "I Need Your Love," "The Funk Won't Let You Down," "Time Will Tell" highlighted Patrice's reach into R&B territory. Whereas, songs such as the Stevie Wonder-esque "I Need Your Love" and the rock-leaning "Time Will Tell" were representative of her new progressive sound.

This album was released just before her 1982 breakthrough album, Straight from the Heart.

gollark: Er, my point is that there are bad things they can do with it which don't necessarily involve selling it to other companies.
gollark: Google also had that whole thing with tracking locations even when that was disabled.
gollark: So you're just hoping that evil governments will also be incompetent?
gollark: Also, you live in Turkey, which has a kind of evil government, right? If Google cooperated with them, they could probably use that data to track down and/or identify dissidents.
