High-Rise 1983

High-Rise is a studio album by American vocal duo Ashford & Simpson, released in 1983 on Capitol Records.^[3] It was their second album for Capitol.

Ashford & Simpson had come close to exhausting their creative quotient by the mid-'80s. Simpson still sang effectively, and Ashford harmonized and contrasted her nicely, but they'd stated and restated both their own situations and any variations on it four albums before. As a result, the feeling that you've heard it all once too often permeates this album. Not that their fans wouldn't want to listen once more, nor that what they had to say wasn't at times compelling; it's just that it no longer was special.
