Album Review: Heart Like A Sky (1989)

Although Spandau Ballet didn't have much succession in the UK and the US with their fifth studio album, Heart Like A Sky; released in 1989, it still became a favourite album of many listeners and fans. The album, changed the ways people saw the 1980's New Romantic Movement forever. You could say it was just 'Alternative Rock'. 

I've noticed, in every single track on that album, the lyrics, are about love, gaining and losing lovers. Take 'Crashed Into Love' for example. The message is simple, being hit from heaven means people crash into love, I think. 

I really love Motivator (track 5), teaches people to be motivated by the frontman who's singing the song, and a wonderful composition by upcoming songwriter  Steve Norman. If it was up to him, I think he would have written the entire album!!!

Overall, only if this album only achieved success in foreign places like Italy and France, it comes to show that this album was severely underrated and many people didn't have a taste for alternative pop music in 1989. But, after the release of the twelve inch mixes in the nineties, they changed their minds.
