80's Hit Song Review: "Maybe This Day" by Kissing the Pink (1983)

U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 87

Backstory: The London based experimental and highly unique New Wave group Kissing the Pink released their debut album, Naked, in 1983 which included their first U.S. hit, this tune called "Maybe This Day". Despite being much more successful in their native U.K. than in the U.S., this song wasn't a big hit in the U.K. either, peaking at just No. 83. They would later release some more albums, such as 1986's Certain Things Are Likely.

Review: Oh man, do I absolutely LOVE this song! The slightly dark tones, electronic, moody synths, and guitars and saxophone solo towards the end which all come together are completely brilliant. This song sounds like it belongs in an episode of Stranger Things or Twin Peaks or in a bizarre science fiction, horror, or romantic comedy movie. I'm REALLY surprised that no music video was ever made for this brilliant New Wave masterpiece. I own the album and the video above was filmed by me and posted on my channel. The lead singer's voice is also smooth and slightly attractive in that 80's sort of way. Yet another overlooked 80's minor hit. (Side note: This song includes the minor line: "Over the Garden Wall..." Did Cartoon Network get inspired by that in a way? LOL)

Final Rating:10/10
