U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 82 (didn't peak on the U.S. Charts until in June of '83)
Backstory:British musician and vocalist Loz Netto initially found a bit of fame with the band Sniff 'N' the Tears with 1979's "Driver's Seat" which was a worldwide hit and got to as high as No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. Oddly, it stalled at just No. 42 on the U.K. Singles Chart because of an unfortunate record plant problem, meaning the song only had a certain amount of copies there in the U.K. After Sniff 'N' the Tears broke up, Netto went on to a solo career. This following single became only a minor hit, stalling all the way down at just No. 82 on the Hot 100. It was released off of the short lived Polydor/ Atlantic Records sub-label, 21 Records and was his only ever charting U.S. single as a solo artist. However, he still continued to have some more success around Europe and still occasionally performs to this day around that area.
The review: This is a pretty good, interesting, and catchy New Wave/ synthpop tune with some nice and catchy synths and a nice and crunchy guitar riffs. I also like the beat and the drums as well. It's nothing spectacular or brilliant, but I still definitely think that it deserved to be a much bigger success.
Final rating: 7/10
