I’m thrilled that you reacted to this one and liked it so much. I especially dig the beautiful atmospheric keyboard work from Thomas Dolby after the first two verses as Lene is shouting “What do you want? You must want!” Surprisingly (because Top of The Pops had a pretty strict rule not to feature acts outside the top 40) there is a performance of New Toy on TOTP on RUclips- guess they must have been short of acts that week. Sadly it didn’t push the track into the charts
I remember seeing Lene lovich and her group in a motorway services cafe when we was on our way to Blackpool in 1979, she looked just like she did when she did TOTP for Lucky Number so knew it was her straight away, another song by her that I remember was Say When
yeah Say When was another great one I wish I had known about at the time. She was really talented but I guess her image may have worked against her in some ways
Have you done a watch & reaction to ( Queen Live Aid concert 1985.) Love to see you play this gem of a music video which was voted best performance of all time.
I went a bundle for her Stateless LP but lost sight of her after that, don't remember this one, it was cool, very Dolby right enough. I heard shades of Transvision Vamp in her delivery. There's a couple of good tracks on Stateless. Quirky and very Stiff.
Loved her image and what a voice. Agree has big Dolby sound and Landscape also had similar moments. you're right about the meaning from the record.

I have this cut on my 80's playlist along with Gary Numan, Split Endz, Joe Jackson, The Specials to name a few. Great recommendation.

The men in white coats....another Thomas Dolby fave thing to do.

Fun fact, Lene Lovich wrote the lyrics to Cerrone's Supernature, a propabanger.
Never heard of transvision vamp. Thanks for that. Will deffo look into that.
This is great selection GP. Kind of bumping into the synth era? Thoughts?
@@SophiaPanglossWow I had no idea she wrote lyrics to Supernature - what a legend!
