I was a big T'Pau fan, and remain a big fan of their first three albums. This new song doesn't recapture much of their dramatic essence, though, at least for me, so I don't have high expectations for the whole album.

I seem to frequently run into issue with desktop spotify where I click an artist's song under 'Albums', and spotify plays another song from that artist instead. However, if I click a song under 'Popular' for that artist, the correct song plays.
