New Music of the Day, October 12:


Client Liaison f Tina Arena, "A Foreign Affair"
It's interesting that so many Australian music groups fetishize 1980's styles (and do it so well). Maybe it has to do with the way that so many Australian cultural exports achieved global success in the 1980s, from INXS to Crocodile Dundee to Men at Work to Neighbours. This song perhaps cheats a bit by using 1990s star Tina Arena (of "Chains" fame) as a guest vocalist. And of course no one said "minibar on the down low" back in the 1980s. But the vibe is pure 1985--dig those synth-drums!
