I LOVE 'Say you say me'. So much so, I had to make an edit in order to delete the bridge (when the tempo gets faster) for my own listening pleasure.

The song could've used some better production. The instrument tones are pretty bad....the bell-heavy synth EP is something I've always hated about 80's music. But the composition is undeniable.

It's just.....why did he add that bridge with the tempo change? Cringe.

Edit: I dig 'Dancing on the Ceiling'. But I disagree that it has Richie trademarks. It kinda sticks out to me because there are no compositional curveballs in it. It's the only, completely, straight-forward song of his that I can think of that is solely groove and no trademark Ritchie changes.
