Rene and Angela – I’ll Be Good

While the vocal style might give away the era, the production on this largely overlooked eighties soul swinger sounds astonishingly current. The husband and wife duo really knocked it out of the park with this one, and if they aren’t a household name it’s only because the rest of their catalogue is basically unlistenable, falling into the same trap as many an early eighties soul act by taking the wrong influences from the days of disco. If only they had just taken this as their formula- a deep bass synth set against lush vocal pads, they would have laid an even greater claim on a sound that prevails today.
