Breaking Hearts

Polished eighties pop-rock reuniting the classic quartet. A blend of neon-lit synth textures, soulful piano ballads, and sharp, radio-ready hooks.

Sleek consolidation

A sleek, late-night urban atmosphere washes over these tracks, as the reunited classic rhythm section anchors a smooth, mid-eighties adult-contemporary pop sound. The arrangements lean heavily on the bright, chiming tones of the Yamaha CP-80 electric grand and layered synthesizers, yet the band's signature high-register backing vocals preserve a warm, soulful core beneath the neon-soaked digital production.
