Hints of Joe Jackson's Stepping Out.

It's like almost Hi-NRG with the most lacklustre of vocals. But it somehow works.

This is a bit more sprightly at least.

I suppose.

Like Punk never happened and all that.

The beat is like Love Kills by Queen Mercury.

Cocktail bar piano.

It's not lacklustre, it's jaded Euro-sophisticat.

Track 3 - The Captain of Her Heart.

Famed one.

by Nightjar Tue 21 Mar 2023 - 19:08

Teh hit.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue 21 Mar 2023 - 19:08

The Captain of Her Heart

by Nightjar Tue 21 Mar 2023 - 19:08

It sounds a bit more well-formed and cohesive.

by Butterfield Tue 21 Mar 2023 - 19:08

I have to say, thus far this album would slot perfectly into my compact disc collection.

by Butterfield Tue 21 Mar 2023 - 19:08

Oh yes, this song.

by Nightjar Tue 21 Mar 2023 - 19:09

Trademark piano bit.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue 21 Mar 2023 - 19:09

I'm too young 4 this.

by Butterfield Tue 21 Mar 2023 - 19:09

It's like Shakatak slowed down.

by Nightjar Tue 21 Mar 2023 - 19:09

It still retains its ersatz charms after all of these years.
