SUMMER ALBUM ROUNDUP : In Brief
** 1/2 Lisa Lisa, “LL 77,†Pendulum/ERG. Singer Lisa Lisa is only as good as her writers and producers. With Cult Jam, her finest moment was the Full Force-produced “I Wonder If I Take You Home.†On this solo effort, the exceptional song is Nona Hendryx’s sassy “Why Can’t Lovers.†Great jam, but it requires a tougher singer-actress than LL to bring it home.
New albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor) to four (excellent).
