The 1981 Listening Post - Van Stephenson - China Girl

 Van Stephenson - China Girl



1981 Housekeeping

Van Stephenson

China Girl

Genre: Those 70s sounds are still kicking

3.5 out of 5




Highlights:

You’ve Got a Good Love Coming




You know that sound. Steve Forbert. Billy Joel. Leo Sayer. Sprinkle a little Chicago in there. Mix in some Seals & Crofts. You know the drill.

That first track is the single and it really sets the tone.

“Looks Like a Loser”, “Hotter in the Night”, “New York, Hold Her Tight” are all perfectly acceptable singer songwriter soft rick tunes and I would totally expect to hear them on the radio in the Summer working in the T-Shirt Shop in Bar Harbor in the summer. 

While other kids were off on Bar Island, getting drunk to bonfires and skinny dipping in the cove, I’d be behind the register…listening to this pap.
