Breakin' Away assumes its own identity with brilliant results. Closer To Your Love" comes off as a tougher, more confident version of the songs from the previous album. Easy" with its gorgeous and subtle Latin flourishes has Jarreau's purposeful delivery coming off oddly poignant in its joy and beauty. The hit "We're in This Love Together" is on the album, just as the bittersweet "My Old Friend". Jarreau brings new life to "Teach Me Tonight" and it has a sweeping, dreamy arrangement.

BREAKIN' AWAY was certainly an apt title for Al Jarreau's 5th Vocalese Exploration released in 1981 to incredible commercial and critical success. Manhattan Transfer and Al Jarreau were top of the Jazz heap when it came to Vocalese, a rather narrow subgenre but one which easily lends itself to crossover success in R&B and Pop as well as Jazz.

Lyrics to "Breakin' Away" song by Al Jarreau: Look what you've done for me- You're makin' more fun for me. Troubadour me, destined to be Set in m. .Breakin' away, your beacon in the the night discovered me. Show me some parachutes (Away, today, sail away) As long as I'm here, bring me some climbing boots. Open the door, give me some more. Fasten me in-loosen the pin. Pull for me. Breakin' away, your love has opened eyes that couldn't see. Breakin' away, your beacon in the night discovered me.
