Rose Laurens starts off this high energy side with her new WEA Musik GmbH, 12" "La Nuit". Her single from last year, "American Love", has gained her cult status among the early morning crowd. This new single is a romantic up-tempo dance cut, and offers her seductive, Edith Piaf like, vocals only in French. "La Nuit", was written by R. Laurens, M. Strawvinsky and J.P. Goussaud, with Jean-Pierre Goussaud producing. Tony Lumen and Steven Von Blau took this all too short 12", and gave it a more workable intro and an exciting new break for a hot club version. Tony Lumen does lights fantastic regularly at The Saint here in New York.
Next is the latest and most exciting cover of the dance classic "Don't Leave Me This Way" done by the Communards on MCA Records. The Communanrds hit sound is no surprise. The lead singer, Jimmy Somerville, was the lead singer of Bronski Beat. Richard Coles, who was also part of Bronski Beat, does Keyboards, while Sarah Jane Morris shares lead vocals, and Mike Thorne produces. Lain Beveridge and Steven took this number-one club record and created a non-stop powerhouse Disconet version to excite your crowd. Lain Beveridge has a degree in music, and edits computer software for Lotus Corp. up in Boston Massachusetts.
