Perhaps one might have high hopes of a collaboration between Undertones (more HERE) singer-extraordinaire Feargal Sharkey and The Rezillos brilliant song-writer Jo Callis ((more HERE) , that is until one remembers how cold and unforgiving the musical climate of the mid-eighties was. I mean, it is rather baffling how many of the eighties synth-pop artists tried to ape American R & B and soul music by using some of the most soul-less, rythm-less and blues-less instrumentation and production of all time. Sometimes, like say Soft Cell's distortion of "Tainted Love" it clicked but so much of the time it was just painful. 'Twas a weird decade, the eighties...
Here's "Loving You" attached to the 1991 "I've Got News For You" e.p., which also includes the follow-up smash hit, "A Good Heart' making it like a CD-Maxi-single Greatest Hits.
So MRML readers any comments on Feargal's solo work? Is it gonna be brickbats or crickets in the comments section? Awaiting your reply...
Speaking of comments should you want to hear the I've Got News For You e.p, the link is in the comments.
