Tonight is so light it threatens to float away, even with plenty of rock-out moments that fail to flatter Gordon's sidemen. That goes double for Gordon's lyrics. It's commendable that she set out to write her own album -- something that, except for one song, she did -- but her idea of thrillsville is declaring that she and a lover are as "out of place" as "horses in the city" on "Horses in the City." You could say the same regarding hooks, good lyrics, a strong voice, and memorable songs: They're depressingly uncommon on Tonight, just like horses in the ... aw, never mind.
