Burn bonus Tracks Edition

Digitally remastered and expanded edition including three bonus tracks. With the 1979 release of Burn, her ninth album and second offering on the Epic label, the Tony award winning actress and singer was revealing an altogether more outgoing and sensual dimension of her persona. Where the esteemed production unit of Gene McFadden, John Whitehead and Victor Carstarphen helmed her previous releases: A Portrait Of Melba and Melba (aka Melba, 78), Burn's production chores were handled by Eurodisco titan Pete Bellotte. Many of the songs here showcase the exhilarating rock/disco synthesis that Bellotte had perfected with partner Giorgio Moroder on Donna Summer's blockbuster Bad Girls album. In other words, this was the first Melba Moore album without any ballads. Reflecting on the set's upbeat vibe and up-tempo material, Melba stated: "You can't be a singer if you sing only ballads," making Burn her first exclusive dance music album.
