Open Up & Croon (30th Anniversary Edition)

The re-release of GLIDE's classic album "Open Up & Croon" for its 30th Anniversary Edition is a time warp back to the heyday of 80s synth-pop. As catchy as it is kitschy, this album is a delightful blast from the past that will have you dusting off your shoulder pads and crimping your hair in no time. From the infectious hooks of "Let Me Be Your Lover" to the dreamy vibes of "Midnight Drive," GLIDE's signature blend of smooth vocals and shimmering synths is on full display. The production may sound a bit dated by today's standards, but there's a nostalgic charm to the lo-fi quality that adds to the album's overall appeal. Tracks like "Heartbeat" and "Love Like Fire" capture the romanticism of the era, while "Neon Nights" and "Dance on the Ceiling" bring the dance floor to life with their pulsating beats and infectious rhythms. It's impossible not to get swept away by the sheer joy and exuberance of GLIDE's music. Overall, "Open Up & Croon" is a playful and infectious trip down memory lane that will have you tapping your foot and singing along in no time. So go ahead, pop on your Walkman, crank up the volume, and let GLIDE take you back to a time when the music was as groovy as the fashion. Cheers to 30 years of pure pop perfection!
