Patrice Rushen was a conservatory-trained jazz pianist before she was a pop star, and Straight From the Heart is where both halves meet. The 1982 album carries Forget Me Nots, a bassline so durable that hip-hop and house producers have been borrowing it ever since, but the record around it is richer than the one song: Number One, Remind Me, and arrangements Rushen wrote and conducted herself. Strut's edition remasters everything from the original tapes and spreads it across two LPs, which lets the low end breathe the way a single never could.
