The 1984 Listening Post - Laura Branigan - Self Control

Laura Branigan - Self Control


#77
April 1 1984
Laura Branigan
Self Control
3.25 out of 5

Highlights: 
Self Control
Heart


In the battle of Sheena and Laura and Madonna (and Patty and Kim and and a host of these new wave blue eyed disco divas) Laura is...tight there. 
This is a collection of songs that, to be honest, anyone could have sung. It’s a testament to anonymity. 
Branigan would’ve come in 7th on American Idol. But I probably would have voted for her. 
That said, her hit singles are perfect MOR stuff and hit me right in my I-need-something-to-cook-to needs.
Although this link includes “Gloria”, that song wasn’t on this release. It’s a welcome addition, though. ;)
