Fallen Angel?? Terrific song. One of the strongest tracks on the SIZE album, which is arguably their best album Post-Fever Period. Great vocal by Robin. See Joe's Gibb Songs for a very good commentary for the song.
David Garcia, who finally has a favorite bossa nova song in NYC

Even more so on Now Voyager. Unfortunately, in a not entirely successful effort.

It's a good composition, but the rhythm section arrangement was enough to
make me hit the fast forward button, even so.

David Garcia, who tends to be the bland leading the bland in NYC

I think it was actually 4 producers. Raphael Saddaq produced "With My Eyes Closed", if I recall correctly.
I thought that was probably the most distinctive track on the album. Not my favorite song on the album, but very well done.
