Alison Moyet’s reflective "Is This Love?" blends emotional restraint with pop polish, while George Michael and Aretha Franklin’s "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" offers powerhouse vocal chemistry and universal appeal. Prefab Sprout’s "When Love Breaks Down" leans into sophisti-pop elegance, and Terence Trent D’Arby’s "Sign Your Name" channels soulful yearning with understated production. Chicago’s "You’re the Inspiration" goes full soft-rock sentimentality, though Billy Ocean’s "Love Is Forever" keeps things smooth yet predictable. Meanwhile, the Housemartins' a cappella take on "Caravan of Love" remains an unexpected chart-topping detour with spiritual undertones.
Katrina and The Waves’ “Que Te Quiero” pairs breezy instrumentation with heartfelt sincerity, while Dire Straits’ “Walk of Life” offers a feel-good, keyboard-driven charm that refuses to take itself too seriously. Bruce Willis’s quirky “Comin’ Right Up” leans into playful pop-rock energy, and Slade’s anthemic hit “My Oh My” delivers glam-tinged balladry with wintry theatrics. Robert Palmer’s “She Makes My Day” exudes romantic elegance, contrasting sharply with The Cross’s bold, funky swagger in “Shove It.” The Waterboys’ “Fisherman’s Blues” merges Celtic folk with wistful emotions, and Simple Minds’ “Waterfront” pulses with raw, urban reinvention. Cheap Trick’s “The Flame” soars as a polished power ballad, and Mike + The Mechanics’ “The Living Years” hits an emotional nerve with its reflective softness. Joe Jackson’s “It’s Different for Girls” cuts through romantic clichés with sharp lyricism, crafting thoughtful musical introspection.
David Sylvian‘s “Secrets of the Beehive” is his fourth solo album co-produced with Steve Nye, featuring Ryuichi Sakamoto, Mark Isham among other guests and released on November 7, 1987 by Virgin.
