America - Your Move (1983) [2020, Japan]

"Your Move" is the 11th studio album by American folk rock duo America, released by Capitol Records on June 3, 1983. In 1982, America experienced renewed commercial success with the hit album "View From The Ground". Two of the tracks on that album, including the Top 10 single "You Can Do Magic," were written and produced by Russ Ballard. Desiring to maintain their commercial momentum, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell turned to Ballard once again, this time to produce their entire follow-up album. "The Border", featuring Bunnell's reworked lyrics, strings by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and an energetic saxophone solo by Raphael Ravenscroft, hit #33 on the Billboard singles chart - what would turn out to be America's last Top 40 pop hit to date. The single fared far better on adult contemporary radio, peaking at #4. This even bettered "You Can Do Magic," which had peaked at #5 on the adult contemporary charts the year before. However, lacking a major hit single, Your Move was unable to replicate the success of "View From The Ground", peaking at #81 on the Billboard album charts. With that, America's collaboration with Ballard came to an end.

~Wikipedia

View From the Ground brought America back into the Top Ten with the exquisite "You Can Do Magic," one of the best soft rock anthems of the early '80s. It was an unexpected but welcome comeback for the group, and it seemed like they could continue to spin out hits with its sequel, 1983's Your Move. That didn't turn out to be the case. Your Move feels wrong from the start, with its stiff drum-machine beats, synthesizers, and extremely slight song, "My Kinda Woman." Things pick up a little bit with the gentle, Californian breeze of "She's a Runaway," but that turns out to be an anomaly; most of Your Move sounds like "My Kinda Woman" and is about as catchy and memorable. It's hard to tell what happened to Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell, and it's not enough to blame Russ Ballard, who, after all, delivers a soft rock/adult contemporary record that plays by all the rules of 1983 radio. There's a distinct lack of spark in the material, production, and performance; only "The Border," which became a minor Top 40 hit, finds the right combination, and it's good enough to rank among the best of America's latter-day material. Unfortunately, it also serves to point out how lame the rest of the album is.
