(To say most songs from said playlists did not share this fate is a massive understatement.) I loved this interview, though, and I’m looking forward to the new album.

This entire post was gross. Please do better, I’m sure you can.

I am 52. I spent most of my life infatuated with Debbie Gibson. Still am. And I agree with your review of that song.

Bad choices? She’s single now and content with that. We all have the choice to find and maintain a long-time relationship or choose the single life. Most of the pressure for marriage and “settling down” is familial and societal. At age 50, I’d say Gibson shows her strength as an individual who managed to get over the hurdles of these pressures – not always easy and something to admire rather than cynically judge on the sidelines.

Huh. Didn’t know that high-status men (cos you’re a high-status man yourself, right Mikey boy?) spent their time just making shit up about random women’s lovelives on the internet.

She deserves any attention thrown her way. I wish i could say the same about the new music. “Closer to Love” sounds like it was recorded in a booth at a theme park. Totally generic sounding dance pop song. The musical accompaniment sounds like a keyboard demo version of house music and the vocal melody is nothing memorable.
