Shandi

Nice vinyl re-master of this hard to find 1980 Self Titled LP from Shandi. Just listen to the first track: the vocals towards the end are like a female Mick Jagger singing Gimme Shelter, but ushering in the start of a very different brave new decade...

Time's So Right

Strong vocal performance from the always on point Tata Vega. Late 80s ('87) but she's still riding the beat with that great confident but soulful wonderful voice. Quite an obscure album (don't think it was even on a major label), hope you enjoy it :)

Love Life

Incredible collection of smooth soft rock tracks from the legendary Brenda Russell. It's 1981, and she's backed up by some of L.A.'s finest studio musician players. If you love high quality 80s music, then you'll love this sweetly sung and produced record.

Heart Dance

Awesome mid 80s ('85) CCM EP from Angie Lewis, featuring her earnest Pop vocals and some really evocative of the era keyboard work. Pure obscure nostalgia, back when music had heart ;)

Wild Child

Classic 80s pop album from E. G. Daily, who has an amazing husky voice that soars and soars across these well produced tracks that just make you wanna get up and move to the music!

Year of release: 1985

Reign On Me

One of my favourite artists from the Westcoast CCM scene of the early 1980s (1983 this record), Michele Pillar has such a gentle but confident singing voice, and was blessed with some fine, laid-back arrangements to accompany her.

Classic album.

Daydream Coast

Ahaha, this 1984 album says it all to me - the 80s, Japan, and daydreaming by the coast! Wow, super hot, and she's even called Naoko KAWAI (!).
This one comes from this fine music blog, where you can find some superb high quality 80s CDs that are sadly now long out of print (booo to the lame music industry/mass modern media!)
