Review
Darling, let's talk about DeBarge's 'Rhythm of the Night' - it's like that unexpected sequin dress that catches everyone's eye at a party! Released in March 1985, this album is the musical equivalent of stepping onto the dance floor in your most fabulous stilettos.
The title track, penned by the incomparable Diane Warren, is an absolute banger that topped charts faster than a runway model struts her stuff. It's no wonder it found its way into 'The Last Dragon' soundtrack - talk about a fashion-meets-film moment! But honey, this album isn't just a one-hit wonder. It's a whole collection of dance-pop and R&B looks, expertly styled by producers like Giorgio Moroder and Richard Perry.
Now, between us fashionistas, there was some backstage drama during the making of this album. The group was dealing with some personal issues, much like a designer trying to finish a collection while battling creative block. But just like in fashion, the show must go on! El DeBarge stepped up, bringing in some session vocalists to help create this Gold-certified masterpiece. It's proof that sometimes, the most beautiful creations come from the most challenging circumstances. 'Rhythm of the Night' is like that perfectly tailored suit - it fits just right and never goes out of style! - Isla
