Genre: SynthPop
3.25 out of 5
Highlights:
Victoria Victorious
You ever hear “(Feels Like) Heaven”? It’s a nice synth pop hit from 84. Somehow we didn’t cover the band that made that single but they released one more album before they gave up the ship.
This isn’t terrible but it doesn’t expand the model, ala Eurythmics. It becomes just another new wave, bass heavy, keyboard driven synth pop entry. Since they aren’t Howard Jones, or even Level 42, they just sound anonymous.
It says a lot that the track “Victoria Victorious” is the best one here and features a guest vocalist (Fiona Carlin).
