Reviews & Opinions

DAVE HEPWORTH, SMASH HITS, APRIL 17 - 30, 1980: If past form is anything to go by, 'Call Me' will go where all Blondie's disco flavoured records go, the place in question being the very top of the charts. Produced by Giorgio Moroder and plucked from the soundtrack of "American Gigolo", this incisive item plays down the usual metallic keyboard rotation in favour of a swinging chord change that could easily have walked straight out of Status Quo's 'Break The Rules'. (I kid you not.) The resulting drama manages to suggest empires crashing to dust without getting a single peroxide hair out of place.
