Belinda, Belinda Carlisle's first solo album, came out on I.R.S. on May 19, 1986, and it's the sound of the former Go-Go's frontwoman stepping out of the band and into the pop spotlight. She'd started work on it in 1985, right after the Go-Go's fell apart, the group she'd co-founded in Southern California in 1978 and taken to the top with Beauty and the Beat.
This is glossy, radio-ready pop rock, all bright keyboards, chiming guitars and Carlisle's big, open-throated vocals. Four singles came off it, and the lead one, "Mad About You", was a smash, topping the chart in Canada and climbing as high as number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, proof that Carlisle could carry a hit on her own.
