Trouble In Paradise
Randy Newman
Synthesizers and polished studio techniques define this 1983 release. The music balances cynicism with catchy melodies to capture the unique tension found in early eighties Los Angeles.
Songs like I Love L.A. became anthems that summarize the sensibilities of that period. This record remains a sharp example of lyrical wit combined with arrangements meant for a broad audience.
