LITTLE LIAR (by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts: Up Your Alley)

SUMMARY:                                    RUNNING TIME: 3:59 Min.

It’s the third track from Joan Jett & The Blackhearts’ 1988 Up Your Alley album. 

REVIEW:

With a spot-on rock melody outshining its vague lyrics, “Little Liar” comes off all too repetitive.  Also, one might also notice Jett’s uneven vocal performance.  Initially, she goes softer for a tune that is borderline ballad – it’s a welcome approach, considering how many of Up Your Alley’s tracks blend together.   Yet, during this tune’s mid-section, Jett’s husky voice sounds at times practically hoarse.  Her vocals, fortunately, return to normal headed into the tune’s finish.  Overall, “Little Liar” is likable, but a distinctively 80’s melody is most certainly its best asset.
