Wide Awake in Dreamland

Pat Benatar

Late-80s arena rock at its most polished. Powerful vocals meet socially conscious lyrics and shimmering guitar work in a final stand for the decade's signature sound.

A powerful blend of stadium-sized defiance and late-night atmospheric reflection.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive vocal entry on the title track where the operatic training meets pure rock grit.
The rhythmic interplay between the synth pads and Giraldo's sharp guitar stabs on 'Cool Zero'.
The somber, building intensity of 'Suffer the Little Children' which showcases a more serious lyrical depth.
