defrogMost people might write off Stacy Q as a one-hit wonder – presuming they even remember her.
I remember her well, primarily because when she made her major label debut, I already knew who she was – namely, the singer in SSQ, a synth-pop band I knew mainly via the Return Of The Living Dead soundtrack and a couple of Enigma Records comps.
Needless to say, her bid for the pop mainstream didn’t really pay off, for whatever reason. My own theory is that Stacy didn’t have that larger-than-life personality it takes to be really successful in pop music, and Atlantic’s marketing team probably didn’t know what to do with her.
Anyway, I have the 45, and I like it. It’s a catchy tune. Not sure about the sampled vocals, mind.
I-I-I-I-I need you,
This is dF
