Produced by notable figures like George Duke, Brock Walsh, Robbie Nevil, and executive producer Quincy Jones, the album featured top session musicians but achieved limited commercial success, peaking at No. 144 on the Billboard 200. The title track, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eMathematics\u003c\/span\u003e, was the only single to chart, reaching No. 74 on the Billboard Hot 100, while \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eEnergy\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eJust One Lifetime\u003c\/span\u003e failed to chart, though \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eEnergy\u003c\/span\u003e had a music video. Historically significant as Manchester's only MCA album, it reflected the 1980s trend of singer-songwriters adapting to electronic pop, though it alienated some fans of her traditional sound. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793666306329,"sku":"MCA-5587","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-melissa_manchester-mathematics.jpg?v=1783554053","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/mca-5587","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
