#347/2027 LISTENING POST DISCOVERY
August 1986
The Lover Speaks
The Lover Speaks
Genre: New Wave
4.5 out of 5
Highlights:
No More ‘I Love You’s’
Never to Forget You
Tremble Dancing
In the vein of ABC and Duran Duran and Spandau comes The Lover Speaks. Honestly, I thought this sound was dead. It’s Human League and Tears for Fears and Spandau Ballet but with more (even) baritone.
Here’s a thing: David Freeman wrote “No More ‘I Love You’s’ which was turned into a hit for Annie Lennox. This group was discovered via demo tape submission by…Dave Stewart.
This is a gorgeous and lush album. It’s a bit heavy on the balladeering but has moments of sublime effervescence.
