Swing Out Sister - Breakout
Uploaded by: Peter1999
Video Description:
Swing Out Sister is a British sophisti-pop musical group best known worldwide for their 1987 song "Breakout", which was their only song to reach the US top 10. Various listeners have classified their sound as everything from smooth jazz to cool jazz to acid jazz.
The group was formed by Andy Connell (keyboards) and Martin Jackson (drums), and were later joined by Corinne Drewery (vocals)
In late 1986, the single "Breakout" was released. It reached the number three position on the UK charts, and number six in the United States.
Consequently, when they released their debut album, "it's better to travel", on May 11, 1987, it reached number one on the UK album charts.
The album registered with listeners for its mix of jazz and electropop, with a blend of real horns, synths (arranged subtly, to sound like strings), drums, and xylophones, scored by producer/arranger Richard Niles. The follow-up single to the effervescent "Breakout" was the brooding "Surrender", which featured a trumpet solo performed by John Thirkell. It rose to number seven on the UK charts in January 1987. The next single was the more serious and jazzy "Twilight World". This song was the subject of many remixes and was a dance club favourite worldwide. The final single "Fooled By a Smile" returned to the upbeat pop orientation characteristic of "Breakout".

| Where have they been? Well, they have and are still putting out CD's. And actually very good CD's. I am assuming you are in North America...as a result you wouldn't have heard much of this "work". However, they are still very popular in Asia and Europe. They toured the U.S.A. last year or the year before. But if you are looking for their music on top 40 or pop stations forget it. |

| Sheldon66, I believe that you(like me)think she is amazing, but I am from North america and would love to see her or her something from her. Retronostalgic is somewhat correct about them falling off the map but he/she must not be a true fan as we are. I wish they would come back to the US even just to perform the old stuff. She will always be great!!! |
