Eighties week continues! Sometimes having a hit record can be a trap. There's nothing else in the Thompson Twins as mid-level Adult Contempo as this. Most of their stuff is a mix of solid 4 x 4 dance beats and exotic percussion. This was a total write it/produce it/release it situation, and nobody in the band predicted what came next: a top ten hit all around the world, one that would burden the band, says band member, Allanah Currie:

"The biggest trouble that we've had basically is that the song, "Hold me Now" was a huge hit, it was really big here, it was really big all over the world. Which is great, but it was just an accidental thing. It was just a song that we wrote. But after that then, we got everybody—managers, the record company—on our back to write "Hold me Now, Part 2" and harassing you to try and find a formula. But we can't really. We'll never find a formula for what we did. And that upsets some of them."
