A high-gloss masterpiece of mid-80s R&B. Neon synth-pop hooks meet smooth soul vocals, anchored by the definitive groove of Caribbean Queen.

Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic, snapping synth-bass riff that opens Caribbean Queen instantly setting a high-stakes rhythmic groove.
The transition into the soaring, gated-reverb drum fill that launches the chorus of Loverboy.
The tender, unhurried vocal delivery on the title track where the synths mimic a soft orchestral swell.
