Fiona - Beyond The Pale

Facts Digitally remastered edition of the 1986 sophomore album from the AOR goddess. For BEYOND THE PALE, Atlantic Records teamed her up with fast rising production talent Beau Hill, a man who made waves producing a variety of platinum selling Hard Rock acts, including Ratt and Winger. It was Beau who recruited a top selection of prominent musicians including Nile Rodgers, Kip Winger and Reb Beach, as well as sourcing a number of key songwriters, including material from the pens of Billy Steinberg, Bob Halligan and Peter Wolf. This time around, the material was rockier and far more contemporary, without losing any of her rough hewn charm or bonhomie. The record successfully combined clean cut hi-tech production chops with sizeable blasts of anthemic rock, allowing her distinctive vocals to punch home the choruses like a hot knife through butter. Check out songs such as 'Tragedy', 'Thunder & Lightning' and the up tempo 'You Better Wait', for irrefutable proof.
