Rikki Patrick - Night Moves

Review by Jan Shim

Night Moves by Rikki Patrick: A Soulful Journey That Still Grooves Let’s get one thing straight—Rikki Patrick's Night Moves isn’t just another soul album from the '80s. Released in 1984 under CBS and Arista, this gem slides between funk and soul like butter on hot toast. It’s got that UK-Europe vibe but feels universal, as if it was made for anyone who loves a good groove after dark. The title track, “Night Moves,” is where the magic happens. It’s smooth, sultry, and kinda sneaky—like those late-night drives when you’re not really sure where you’re headed but don’t care because the music’s doing all the talking. The bassline? Pure hypnotic gold. And then there’s the way Rikki sings—it’s not flashy, more like a warm hug for your ears. I remember spinning this one on repeat, letting the rhythm take over. You know how some songs just feel right? This is one of them. Then we’ve got “Never Too Late.” If “Night Moves” is the midnight drive, this track is the sunrise at the end of it. It’s uplifting without being cheesy, with lyrics that hit just hard enough to make you think, Yeah, maybe things will work out. The horns here are what kill me—bright and punchy, they give the song an energy that sticks with you long after it fades out. Now, about those remixes of “Night Moves”—the Extended Night Mix and Removal Mix—they’re fun little experiments. They stretch and twist the original into something fresh, though honestly, nothing beats the raw charm of the first version. But hey, props to Rikki for keeping us guessing. Here’s the kicker: listening to Night Moves now feels like rediscovering an old friend. Sure, it’s rooted in the '80s, but its soulfulness makes it timeless. Like finding a forgotten Polaroid in your attic and realizing it’s still vibrant despite the years. And here’s my random thought to leave you with: why do albums like this remind us that sometimes imperfection is perfection? Maybe it’s the cracks in the production or the honest grit in Rikki’s voice—but whatever it is, it works. So grab your headphones (or crank up the speakers) and let Night Moves carry you away. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a cool fact: Rikki Patrick's *Night Moves* album, released in 1984, is a hidden gem in the funk and soul scene. It came out in the UK and Europe under CBS and Arista labels. The track "Night Moves" got not one, but two remixes—like the "Extended Night Mix" and the mysterious "Removal Mix." These gave fans different vibes from the same song. Not many people know this, but it’s a solid pick if you’re into soulful grooves with a funky edge.
