David Bowie had dropped hints during the Diamond Dogs tour that he was
moving toward R&B, but the full-blown blue-eyed soul of Young
Americans came as a shock. Surrounding himself with first-rate
sessionmen, Bowie comes up with a set of songs that approximate the
sound of Philly soul and disco, yet remain detached from their
inspirations; even at his most passionate, Bowie sounds like a
commentator, as if the entire album was a genre exercise.
Nevertheless, the distance doesn't hurt the album -- it gives the
record its own distinctive flavor, and its plastic, robotic soul
helped inform generations of synthetic British soul. What does hurt
the record is a lack of strong songwriting. "Young Americans" is a
masterpiece, and "Fame" had a beat funky enough that James Brown
ripped it off, but only a handful of cuts ("Win," "Fascination,"
"Somebody up There Likes Me") comes close to matching their quality.
As a result, Young Americans is more enjoyable as a stylistic
adventure than as a substantive record.
