helplessness and life in the early aughts, they drove centimetre perfect
incisions into the bedrock of indie song-craft.

“We Got The Beat“ and “Our Lips are Sealed“ After the band’s break up in
1985 Belinda Carlisle embarked on her hugely successful solo career and
released her first solo album in 1986. Her second album “Heaven On
Earth” produced the worldwide hit “Heaven Is A Place On Earth” which hit
number one on both the US and UK charts. The hits kept coming with the
release of her iconic 1989 album “Runaway Horses” which boasted the top
10 hits, “Leave The Light On For Me“ and “Summer Rain”. Belinda Carlisle
