Black & White

Sleek 1981 pop-soul defined by tight vocal harmonies and a flirtation with rock-edged synthesizers. A high-energy bridge between disco roots and 80s radio dominance.

The record where the sisters traded their jazz hats for leather jackets and conquered the 80s pop charts.

A sophisticated blend of sultry confidence and high-energy optimism.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive vocal entry on the chorus of Slow Hand where the harmonies lock into a singular, velvet-thick wall of sound.
The gritty, rock-influenced guitar riff that anchors the verses of Should I Do It, bridging the gap between New Wave and R&B.
The way the percussion builds into a frantic, joyful climax during the final minute of We're Gonna Make It.
