Pure Attraction Review

After a five-year period of soul searching and disillusionment with the music industry, Kathy Troccoli returned in 1993 with her strongest effort to date, not to mention one of the most successful Christian crossover releases in years. Pure Attraction features Troccoli's Top 5 hit "Everything Changes," an up-tempo pop gem penned by famed songwriter Diane Warren. Troccoli, once a backup singer for '80s pop diva Taylor Dayne, uses producer Rick Wake to create a similar backdrop complementing her deep and powerful voice. As on his work with Dayne, Celine Dion, and others, producer Wake encourages a smoky torch song or two like "You're Still Here" and "You and I," on which Troccoli's plaintive vocals are bound to tug your heartstrings. But for the most part, the release is filled with harmless mid-tempo love songs such as "Love Has Found Me Here," leaving a brief yet sweet taste of Troccoli's talent.
