Released in 1983,  Shakatak's album Out Of This World is a polished blend of sophisticated jazz-funk and smooth pop. The record opens strongly with the hit single "Dark Is the Night," which features glittery beats and driving piano. While mid-album tracks like "Don't Say That Again" feel a bit uneven, the second half recovers with solid synth-funk grooves like "Let's Get Together". Anchored by Bill Sharpe’s bright keyboard solos and the band's tight rhythm section, this release remains an essential and relaxing listen for smooth jazz fans.
