Pia Zadora - Pia Z (1989)

Pia Z is the sixth studio album by American singer-actress Pia Zadora, released in October 18, 1989 by CBS Records and produced by Narada Michael Walden.

"Heartbeat of Love" was released as a single and included club mixes by Clivilles & Cole of C + C Music Factory fame. "If You Were Mine" was issued as a promotional single only, and included "I Wanna Be Your Woman" as the second track. 

Good pop music with a well educated singing voice. Pia is a strong singer, which some want to ignore because of all the gossip. Here she sings pop tunes by high class producers/writers such as Narrada Michael Walden. Very nice is "Kady", dedicated to her daughter.

Producers have tried to make her a rocker (Rock It Out), a pop star (The Clapping Song), and a high enery dance performer (Dance Out Of My Head). 

I think she is best suited for adult contemporary style music. 

Had great producers of that style of music such as Barry Manilow (who resurrected Dionne Warwick's career) or David Foster to name a few had worked with her, she would have had the success she deserved.
