Love by Aztec Camera
Love is an album by Aztec Camera, released in 1987. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 9 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Somewhere In My Heart”, on 6 lists with a best position of #49.
Love, Aztec Camera's third album, arrived in November 1987, and by then the band was really Roddy Frame and whoever he hired: he was the last permanent member standing, cutting the record with session players and Russ Titelman producing. Gone is the indie jangle and folk-rock of the earlier records; in its place comes glossy, R&B-tinged pop, buffed to a high sheen and plainly aimed at American radio.
It never did crack America, but Britain fell for it once "Somewhere in My Heart", the third single, bounded up to number three there, pulling the album to number 10 and making it the biggest seller of the band's career. "Deep & Wide & Tall" carries the same big-hearted, soul-boy ambition. Stray would follow.
