After
Man-Child, alas, Herbie Hancock's American jazz-funk records in the
1970s grew gradually more commercial, less stimulating, and crucially,
less truly funky with each release, even as his equipment rack grew
larger. Just take a look at the staggering collection of keyboards on
the back cover of the Sunlight LP -- all sought-after collectors' items
now -- yet Hancock makes so little use of their possibilities here. For
much of the album, he seems most interested in establishing a new career
as an electronic vocalist.
"I Thought It Was You," "Come Running to Me," and the title track
introduce the ghostly, gauzy sound of Herbie's singing voice as heard
through a vocoder; there's even an electronic Herbie scat choir. Stevie
Wonder, he's not. There are still occasional splashes of Hancock
harmonic color on the keyboards, but he also relies upon superfluous,
self-arranged brass riffs and string backgrounds. The backup bands shift
from track to track, from combinations of Headhunters alumni that offer
soft-focused facsimiles of the old funk drive to a surprisingly
strait-jacketed pairing of Tony Williams and Jaco Pastorius on the
eccentric "Good Question."
