Why This
Album Is So Great:
When Frankie arrived in 1984 they changed the rules and boundaries for pop music
with just one album. Brilliant pop songs presented in a provoking light ensured them great
recognition and huge success. Songs like "Relax", "War" and "Two
Tribes" are the obvious classics on the album but my absolute favourite is the
beautiful "The Power Of Love" which is one of the greatest ballads of the
eighties. Even today, almost twenty years after, the album continues to sparkle and
present interesting elements that have aged extremely well. A great pop songs never grows
old and Frankie's debut album still manages to sound ever fresh and substancial. You
should own it too!!
Overall Rating (on a scale from 1 to 10): 8
