Damn she was awesome that year.
True. It's that "hip" dj-scratch sound effect that is really used a lot and was trendy around that time. RAINBOW is much more dated sounding than many of her millennial album releases. The evolution between that and Memorial address is remarkable to be honest. I enjoy RAINBOW but it's there's certainly a time and place for that album more so than other albums. I truly have to be in the mood for that cd, and it doesn't make my rotation very often as it doesn't translate well to current date for me. It's somewhat cheesy.
