Rick Springfield

�Venus in Overdrive� (New Door): B-

Not only has the boylike 59-year-old Aussie returned to his signature role as Dr. Noah Drake on TV soap �General Hospital,� Springfield is again making a good stab at the charts with this likable, though generic, guitar-pop showcase. Toe-tapping first single �What�s Victoria�s Secret?� is a blatant copy of his 1981 chart-topper �Jessie�s Girl.� The funky title cut wouldn�t be out of piazza on Maroon 5�s up-to-the-minute. Download: The Beatles-influenced �Saint Sahara.�
