Genre: Disco, Soul

The sibling vocal group behind the exemplary togetherness anthem "We Are Family" (1979), a chart-topping, platinum-certified, Grammy-nominated mainstream breakthrough, Sister Sledge reached their commercial peak during the disco era but had been recording since the early '70s, and have remained active in the following decades. The versatile Sledges ably covered Jackson 5-style pop-R&B, Philly soul, funk, and disco before they teamed up with Chic's Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards to achieve mainstream fame with the title track off We Are Family, a Top Five pop album with additional dancefloor classics such as "He's the Greatest Dancer" and "Lost in Music." By the end of the '80s, Sister Sledge had also produced their own material and worked with the likes of Narada Michael Walden and George Duke, and topped the U.K. pop chart with the bubbly "Frankie" (1985), produced by Rodgers. They've recorded infrequently since then and have continued to perform into the 2020s with varying lineups.

Boyzone was Europe's most successful boy bands during the second half of the 1990s. Comprised of five Irish vocalists and funded by music manager Louis Walsh, the group embraced a similar style of pop music as Take That, whose breakup in 1996 created a void that Boyzone happily filled. By combining boyish charm with slick songwriting (much of which was co-written by the bandmates themselves), the singers found enormous success throughout the U.K., where 16 of their first 17 singles became Top Five hits. Six of those songs made it to number one, establishing Boyzone as the first Irish group to top the British charts so regularly, and bandmate Stephen Gately garnered additional headlines in 1999 by announcing his homosexuality, making Boyzone one of the only boy bands to include an openly gay member. The group didn't fare nearly as well in America, where acts like *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys reigned supreme, but Boyzone's success in Europe was nearly unparalleled during the group's heyday.

Kim Carnes - Essential (2011) Music

Posted by Designol at May 26, 2024

Essential is a beautifully remastered 16-track overview of singer and songwriter Kim Carnes' eight years with EMI. Though she recorded two fine albums for A&M before, and a number of solid if underappreciated offerings for a number of labels after, Ms. Carnes is best known for the seven records she made for EMI between 1979 and 1986. Of course, her biggest hits are here: the ubiquitous pop classic "Bette Davis Eyes," "Cry Like a Baby," and "Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer" (in duet with Kenny Rogers). But deeper than this are lesser-known but nonetheless excellent songs such as "I'd Lie to You for Your Love," "Abadabadango," "I Pretend," "Chain Letter," and the Faces-esque "It Hurts So Bad," all of them done in an nearly astonishing range of subgenres of rock and pop.
