The brilliance of synth pop signals the dawn of a new era
This album features Sheena Easton's hit single "Modern Girl," a representative hit of her early career, on the A-side. It combines early '80s new wave with pop.
Side A, "Modern Girl," is a clear pop number driven by synthesizer riffs and Linn drum beats. Sheena Easton's vocals are youthful and energetic, yet precise in tune and expressively controlled. Side B, "Paradox," features a more rock-influenced arrangement and shows a different side of her. This single epitomizes the sound and star power of her debut era.
