Masterpiece

The Isley Brothers

Mid-80s soul defined by shimmering digital synths, drum machines, and Ronald Isley's peerless falsetto. A polished, late-night masterclass in Quiet Storm intimacy.

November 11, 1985 · Warner Bros. Records

Find on Amazon

A polished, nocturnal meditation on romance and longing wrapped in high-gloss digital textures.
