I must say this. Is. Amazing. Much better than the 80's version. Although I think that should hands been a hit in the 80's. But I'm kinda glad it didn't, bc we got this! This magic that is called Tori! Love her
The timing was wrong. Had the album been released just two years prior it might have done well and landed right in the middle of "MTV prime era". Unfortunately by 1988 music had taken a new direction (not necessarily for the better but just to cater to a new generation of teens) and the album sounded "dated". I say so because I listen to a lot of artists and genres and many bands/artists had to change their sound around this time to sound more "contemporary". Few of these made this transition well. Others who had not had much of an audience before suddenly sounded "fresh" (just because they became publicly known but they hadn't changed one bit). Those who thrived in this era were the ones who followed their own path and developed their own sound (which set them out from the copycat, got-to-be-hip rest), those who just kept doing what they did and eventually won much praise for never changing a winning concept and those who had a small but loyal following and found themselves in many movie soundtracks years after their original release. Many of these are still performing live today and going from strength to strength. Time is probably the only real fair way to judge music. That's because you judge music on its own merits and don't have the bias of fame/media saturation/expensive music videos/easily swayed masses/crazy praise in newspapers/etc. 30 years later (and that's really the case for me who only heard it a few months ago as I just recently discovered T.A.) I think it's actually quite decent. Fact is it's probably better than most of the "hit music" that was released in 1988 which has since long been forgotten. Now I'm not going to mention some of the "it girls" that were huge then not to offend any of their fans but to think that they were getting tons of play on both radio and tv but YKTR was just brushed aside appears bizarre to say the least. But hindsight is 20/20. Btw, it seems some music journalists have given the album a listen too (some of which weren't even born when it was released) and most of them seem to rate it a decent to half-good effort. Certainly not a dreadful flop it was so crudely dismissed as just for making to make a commercial impact when it was new.
Beautiful, massively underrated song about having an affair with a married man, longing for him to leave his family for her. "How can the music play *when the only band is made of gold*" (referring to a wedding band). I love hearing this modern rendition, and celebrate that she still performs it.
This is such an underrated Tori song, we've all been here. Beautiful version ❤
Y Kant tori read is a much stronger album than people give credit for. I wish tori released a reinterpretated version of the alb
A remaster was released, maybe it’s not hopeless 🥹
under-fucking-rated
The quality is amazing! Thank you!
welcome!! we agree!
I love you Tori
