ReStructure Mix Update (11/18/14) “Loverboy” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Billy Ocean

Billy Ocean (Leslie Sebastian Charles) is the voice of the 80s when funk and disco merged into pop dance. His 1984 album “Suddenly” is a gem for a time given to a longtime series of dance floor hits paid off – these tracks included “Stay The Night”, “American Hearts”, “Are You Ready” and “Nights (Feel Like Getting Down)”. “Loverboy” is one of his big singles following the big success of “Caribbean Queen” both produced by Keith Diamond.

I have taken the 12” vocal and dub version to lay out a whole new episode for this “Loverboy” – creating an underground arrangement with more drawn out instrumental parts and a dub like break sections scattered about. It is one of the big hits for me during 1984 and also a favorite to move to. This ReStructure Mix is another chance to get lost in the 80s dance energy and fun!
