Reseña
El álbum This Time marca un punto de inflexión en la carrera de Al Jarreau, con su transición hacia un sonido de R&B y pop más pulido y comercial. Para este trabajo, el artista comienza su fructífera colaboración con el productor Jay Graydon, quien le proporciona un sonido más moderno y en sintonía con las radiofórmulas de principios de los ochenta. De este modo, aunque no abandona su raíz jazzística, Jarreau se adentra en un territorio de pop sofisticado, con ritmos más marcados y sintetizadores.
Además, el disco contiene composiciones de una calidad melódica excepcional, como la canción que le da título o la seductora "Spain (I Can Recall)". Por consiguiente, "This Time" logra un equilibrio perfecto entre la integridad artística y el atractivo comercial, preparando el terreno para el éxito masivo que estaba por llegar. Por esta razón, es un álbum de transición fundamental, que muestra a un artista reinventándose con inteligencia y abriéndose a una audiencia mucho más amplia.
