SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:38 Min.
Performed by Patti LaBelle, this upbeat track appears on 1984’s Beverly Hills Cop film soundtrack. It’s one of LaBelle’s two appearances on this album (the other of which is “Stir It Up”).
REVIEW:
In high-caliber form, Patti LaBelle’s sassy vocals makes “New Attitude” an underrated asset for Beverly Hills Cop. In fairness, maybe it’s not as enduring as the tracks by The Pointer Sisters — “Neutron Dance” and Glenn Frey — “The Heat Is On.” However, this breezy R&B tune makes an invaluable contribution setting up Eddie Murphy’s ‘Axel Foley,’ for his amused exploration of downtown Beverly Hills.
LaBelle’s energetic effort is further bolstered by a catchy mid-80s melody that makes the track ideal for 80s’ playlists and even for workouts. The same applies to LaBelle’s other Beverly Hills Cop track, “Stir It Up,” as her two songs work well in tandem.
