23rd studio album from the Isley Brothers ‘Masterpiece’ dates from 1985 and is a set made up mainly of slower ballad material. ‘Release Your Love’ breaks the mold with a mid tempo dance groover with good harmonies and a throwback sound, ‘Colder Are My Nights’ also has a dance feel while the pick of the slowies comes in the form of ‘If Leaving Me Is Easy’ and ‘may I’. Two years later the Isleys (as a duo) released ‘Smooth Sailin’, immediately kicking off in uptempo fashion with ‘Everything Is Alright’ and ‘Dish It Out’. ‘Smooth Sailin’ Tonight’ is a mellow quiet storm stepper and ‘Somebody I Used To Know’ is also a highlight.
