Jazz
Susan Maughan turns on, tunes in and drops out with Hey Look at Me, the kind of self-consciously groovy vocal jazz set that is unmistakably the product of Swingin' London circa 1967. A square, frustratingly sentimental singer on previous LPs, Maughan digs into pop hits like "There's a Kind of Hush" and "I'm a Believer" with gusto, but what pulls the record back from the precipice of kitsch is the smart, sophisticated arrangements of pianist Laurie Holloway, who manages to generate some truly soulful moments.
