Paula Abdul - Next To You (1988)



You really have to admire an album that leaned this heavily on the concept of FM. This is literally the next track on the album, and is no less full of FM. Even though this one doesn't have a sparkly video, it's a much better song, and demonstration of how good Paula Abdul could be.

Lovely FM bass and keys, as usual, but this time all it underpins some gorgeous jazz fusion chord progressions, and a lush wall of overdubbed and at times haunting vocals. This is a great slow jam that is full of the good stuff.
