Break Out

The Pointer Sisters

A high-octane collision of gospel-rooted harmonies and sleek 1980s electro-pop. The definitive document of the sisters' transition into the digital dance era.

The ultimate 80s dance party in a single sleeve, packed with more hits than most artists' entire careers.

An unrelenting burst of high-gloss, neon-lit confidence and rhythmic joy.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The startlingly deep, almost mechanical lead vocal on Automatic that redefined the group's range.

The rapid-fire piano stabs and breathless vocal delivery that drive the bridge of I'm So Excited.

The explosive, gospel-inflected synth-brass hook that opens Jump (For My Love).
