Coming Up You
"Coming Up You" is a song by American rock band the Cars from their sixth studio album, ''Door to Door'' (1987). It was written by Ric Ocasek and sung by Benjamin Orr. Release "Coming Up You" was released as a single in the United States and Australia, backed with the fellow ''Door to Door'' track "Double Trouble". The third and final single from ''Door to Door'' (after the top-20 entry "You Are the Girl" and its less successful follow-up " Strap Me In"), the song peaked at number 74 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 (a slight improvement from the performance of "Strap Me In") and number 37 on the Adult Contemporary chart. However, unlike its predecessors, it failed to chart at all on the Mainstream Rock chart. It is also among the very few songs by the group not to feature a promotional video. The single was the final Cars single released before the band broke up in 1988 (although it was followed up by " Sad Song" when the band reunited in 2011). Reception AllMusic critic Mike DeG ...

The Cars
The Cars were an American rock band formed in Boston in 1976. Emerging from the new wave scene in the late 1970s, they consisted of Ric Ocasek ( rhythm guitar), Benjamin Orr (bass guitar), Elliot Easton (lead guitar), Greg Hawkes (keyboards), and David Robinson ( drums). Ocasek and Orr shared lead vocals, and Ocasek was the band's principal songwriter and leader. The Cars were at the forefront of the merger of 1970s guitar-oriented rock with the new synthesizer-oriented pop that became popular in the early 1980s. Robert Palmer, music critic for ''The New York Times'' and ''Rolling Stone'', described the Cars' musical style: "They have taken some important but disparate contemporary trends—punk minimalism, the labyrinthine synthesizer and guitar textures of art rock, the '50s rockabilly revival and the melodious terseness of power pop—and mixed them into a personal and appealing blend."Palmer, Robert.

Heartbeat City
''Heartbeat City'' is the fifth studio album by American rock band the Cars, released on March 13, 1984, by Elektra Records. The band produced the album with Robert John "Mutt" Lange. This marks the band's first album not produced by long-time producer Roy Thomas Baker. It also represented a return to the success of the band's self-titled debut album, with critic Robert Christgau noting that "the glossy approach the Cars invented has made this the best year for pure pop in damn near twenty years, and it's only fair that they should return so confidently to form." Numerous tracks from the album received airplay on modern rock and AOR stations, with the singles "Drive" and "You Might Think" reaching the top 10 of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, while the album peaked at number three on the ''Billboard'' 200. Background and release ''Heartbeat City'' spawned six singles. "Drive" and "You Might Think" reached the top 10 of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, peaking at numbers three and se ...

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
