The sophisticated brilliance of AOR is exuded with the urban sensibility of the early 80s.
Produced by Michael Omartian, this song stands out for its delicate melody and smooth chorus, symbolizing the style of the golden age of AOR. It is a representative song that also ranked in the US charts.
The electric piano at the beginning resonates lightly, and Kennedy's vocals unfold with a soft, enveloping quality. The smooth chord progressions and crystalline production, typical of AOR, are impressive, and Michael Omartian's arrangement elegantly ties the whole thing together. The backing chorus and clean guitar tones are exquisitely intertwined, carrying on the West Coast acoustic beauty of the late '70s. The song's charting on Billboard established its presence in the AOR scene, and it is being re-evaluated as a hidden gem that combines urban lyricism with sonic perfection.
