Hearing Melissa Manchester squander her considerable vocal talents on faceless slabs of balladry like "Without You" is painful indeed. But this was clearly the ethos behind For the Working Girl: production-line, off-the-peg songwriting that deserved only the most perfunctory reading, pointlessly invested with all manner of vocal histrionics. Only those with a boundless appetite for saccharine should dwell on lethargic numbers like "You and Me" and "If This Is Love." The rest should make a bee line for Manchester's own songs, which yet again beat everything else here by a mile.
