Anyone Can See captures Irene Cara at a fascinating crossroads, moving away from the cinematic shadow of Fame and into her own identity as a sophisticated R&B and pop stylist. The album feels like a walk through a 1982 metropolitan landscape just as the sun goes down: there is a lingering warmth from the day's heat, but a cool, neon-lit energy is beginning to take over. It is an album of high-gloss surfaces that never feel cold, thanks to Cara's remarkably expressive voice which carries a signature rasp that suggests a depth of experience beyond her years.

Moments Worth Listening For
