U-Turn is a studio album by the American musician Isaac Hayes, released in 1986 through Columbia Records.[1] [2] It was his first album in five years.[3] "Ike's Rap VIII" was a minor radio hit.[4]
Critical reception
[edit ]The Chicago Tribune called the album "slickly funky to the point of self-parody."[5] The Atlanta Journal-Constitution deemed it "a solid collection of dance-oriented tunes and bedroom-bound ballads."[6] Nick Coleman of NME said, "The pulse is slowly reduced to bellycrawl and the voice heaves like a dopey mastodon in a swamp, but all the tunes save "Doesn't Rain In London" lack the narrative/poetic extravagance which made his cover versions such essential listening back when trousers were trousers."[7]
