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.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 5½ Stars
