One-time member of Aquarian Dream and Eighties Ladies, Sylvia Striplin was part of Roy Ayers’ Uno Melodic set up and it was on that imprint that this classic album was issued. The title track ‘Give Me Your Love’ is a huge soulful disco number that bears the hallmarks of the Eighties Ladies sound, the lazy slink of the stepper has Roy Ayers’ stamp all over it while the sparkling ‘Look Towards The Sky’ is an irresistible dancer. ‘Toy Box’ and ‘Searchin’ both superb, angular boogie number that are soaked in that Roy Ayers magic while the mid tempo ‘You Said’ is an inventive groover that ebbs between boogie territory and mellow balladry.
Essential album.
