A Who's That Girl appreciation thread

[POP!]

She was arguably at the top of her powers at this moment, and the songs were big hits, but it seems relatively forgotten these days by the GP. Why? I'd say because of the film and lack of representation on The Immaculate Collection.

Who's That Girl
Causing a Commotion
The Look of Love
Can't Stop

Add some other bits and bobs from the era you have a lost 80s album and follow up to True Blue:

Side B:

Spotlight
Ain't No Big Deal ('86)
Supernatural
Each Time You Break My Heart

Ok that's all

The singles were all stellar for sure. Who’s That Girl? probably suffers from being very much in La Isla Bonita’s shadow but I’d play it more these days.

The Look of Love, as the singles all do, suffers from no proper video, but is a gorgeous 2nd here for me. It's a shame it wasn't the whole soundtrack she did as after these songs she might have taken more of a gamble creative-wise. If there is one criticism of these songs it's arguably that they were nothing new for her. I don't care for Causin' A Commotion, but must add how brilliant the middle 8 is.

I vastly prefer the title track to La Isla Bonita

But then I WOULD

And The Look Of Love is very underrated. I have no memory of it at the time. I didn’t care for CAC

The Look Of Love is a bit of a forgotten sultry gem.

Causing A Commotion would score less without the “I hope you find what you’re looking for…” bits.

Her weakest era of the 80s for me, but nothing was BAD, just THERE…
