Roachford
"Cuddly Toy (Feel for Me)"
#25 (June 10, 1989)
A pure slice of cake straight from the 80s.
Apparently Roachford was Columbia Records' biggest selling artist in the UK in the 1990s. Strange, considering I haven't really heard of them.
From the look of Roachford's image, lead singer Andrew Roachford looks more like someone who would sing new jack swing or soft R&B music. The title makes it look that way too. But "Cuddly Toy (Feel for Me)" is full of electric guitars, synthesizers and loud drum hits. Not your typical new jack swing. In fact, almost nowhere near that.
It even made room for a keyboard solo, much like other 80s one-hit wonders like Saga's "On the Loose".
"Cuddly Toy" isn't really my type of music, and I have a mixed opinion it. Some of the lyrics are really campy, but the instruments really keep the song strong. Though I won't become a professional music reviewer, so I'll end here.
