Debut album from EPO, with the title track being one of her biggest hits, a cover a Sugar Babe song. I love the cover, with its blurry TV photos; I'm especially amused that the Peace Arch is on the back cover.
The album itself is really solid. The title track is a cover, but EPO wrote or co-wrote most of the rest of the album. All at the age of 19.
Looking back at the eighties is more fun than actually living through them was. (Thatcher - Reagan era...ugh)
In that spirit, I present "Plastic Love". Even if you don't follow East Asian pop, one listen will take you back to the eighties - and then perhaps to 2017, when an unofficial remix was uploaded to YouTube, becoming viral, and sparking a revival of interest in the city pop sound.
You might remember the thumbnail that went with that YouTube, which has since been taken down.
In fact, the single was not a a huge success in Japan when it was released, although the album reached number one; it's only in retrospect that the song has achieved its status as a musical icon of the eighties.
