Living in a Fantasy is the last album to yield hits for Leo Sayer in America, closing out the terrific '70s run as the '80s began. A-ha/Bow Wow Wow/Squeeze producer Alan Tarney chooses to keep the production slick and sparse, the large mix of musicians who helped craft albums like Thunder In My Heart, Endless Flight, Here, World Radio, and others vanishes as the singer goes back to the pared-down format of his Just a Boy period. The big difference is that Sayer had gone beyond the singer/songwriter personality of those early recordings to having marquee value, as well as his own TV show. Songs here like "You Win, I Lose are bouncy pop, this one like five others composed by the singer and his producer.

Never say never. Twenty-five years after breaking up, the legendary Canadian jazz-fusion band Uzeb has unexpectedly reunited for a 2017 tour. In summer 2016, drummer Paul Brochu, bassist Alain Caron and guitarist Michel Cusson rekindled their creative chemistry for the first time since disbanding in 1992.
