With A Little Luck (T'Pau Song)
"With a Little Luck" is a song by British band T'Pau, released as the lead single from their 1998 fourth studio album '' Red''. It was written by vocalist Carol Decker, ex-T'Pau rhythm guitarist Ron Rogers and J. David. It was produced by Decker, Rafe McKenna and Marco Sabiu. Background The single was released as the follow-up non-album 1997 single " Heart & Soul '97", which had peaked at #186 in the UK. It was a reworking of the group's 1987 debut single. "With a Little Luck" was the first T'Pau single of original material since 1991's "Only a Heartbeat" from '' The Promise'' album. "With a Little Luck" was a promotional single release only, and therefore ineligible to chart. T'Pau had originally gained success in the late 1980s and split in the early 1990s. In 1997, Decker reformed the band with a completely new line-up and after the release of "Heart & Soul '97", the new line-up started playing gigs and recorded the ''Red'' album in 1998. The album and the singles were release ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Red (T'Pau Album)
''Red'' is the fourth studio album by British pop-rock group T'Pau, which was released by Gnatfish in 1998. As the first T'Pau album since 1991's '' The Promise'', ''Red'' features singer Carol Decker as the only member from the original line-up. Background In the years after T'Pau's split in 1992, Decker continued to occasionally perform as a solo artist. In 1997, after finding new management, she formed a new line-up of T'Pau in order to begin touring again.

That year, the band undertook a 25-date UK tour and also released a new version of the band's 1986 hit " Heart and Soul" as "Heart and Soul '97". Decker recorded ''Red'' between December 1997 to July 1998 at Roundhouse Studios in London.

Pop Rock
Pop rock (also typeset as pop/rock) is a fusion genre with an emphasis on professional songwriting and recording craft, and less emphasis on attitude than rock music. Originating in the late 1950s as an alternative to normal rock and roll, early pop rock was influenced by the beat, arrangements, and original style of rock and roll (and sometimes doo-wop). It may be viewed as a distinct genre field rather than music that overlaps with pop and rock. The detractors of pop rock often deride it as a slick, commercial product and less authentic than rock music. Characteristics and etymology Much pop and rock music has been very similar in sound, instrumentation and even lyrical content. The terms "pop rock" and " power pop" have been used to describe more commercially successful music that uses elements from, or the form of, rock music. Writer Johan Fornas views pop/rock as "one single, continuous genre field", rather than distinct categories. To the authors Larry Starr and C ...

Heart And Soul (T'Pau Song)
“Heart and Soul” is the debut single by British pop rock ensemble T'Pau, released in 1987 from their debut album '' Bridge of Spies.'' Following its inclusion in a Pepe Jeans advert, the single reached No. 4 in both the US and UK charts. Background Singer Carol Decker said of the authorship and composition of the selection: Song information The song is notable for its usage of various vocal overdubs, causing Decker, essentially, to be duetting with ''herself'' on the original studio recording. This makes the song, in its initial studio form, impossible to perform live without additional backup singers. Instead, Decker often performs what she calls a "basic" version, explaining to Songfacts: "I rap the first two verses then cut to the melody for the verse before the chorus. No one really notices or minds as I cover the essential dynamics of the song. It works well." Upon its initial release in the UK in February 1987, the song was not well received, entering the bottom ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
