I've recently been revisiting this gorgeous artist. His singles are very radio friendly, catchy, "Everything My Heart Desires" and "The Best Thing" have not aged at all, they sound as current in todays climate as they did back then. A lot of pop from that era has sadly aged badly.

Because of the stupid way the charts work (certain people - even big artists - not getting TV / radio play) his NEW SINGLE "Tonight" failed to chart. Its a good dance song.

Touch Me is a fantastic Euro dance anthem. Have a listen and tap your feet!

Tonight (most recent)

Everything My Heart Desites (Should get a re release IMO)

Mandy Moore attempted to cover Everything My Heart Desires. Very good effort IMO, very sweet vocals, but it just lacks the energy of Adam's version.

No he isn't.

But the OP is certainly an underrated treasure for digging up long buried monstrosities that the rest of the world has thankfully long since forgotten.

Coming next- One True Voice should have been bigger than The Beatles.

The only song of his I know if I Breathe Again and I can't lie and say that I don't love dancing to it

I was listening to my dance playlist whilst cleaning earlier on and that song was on it. I may have ended up cleaning my windows in a very random pattern whilst bopping to it

Good Times was the album I always used to whack on whilist getting ready to go out, Aside from the 2 dodgy ballads on the album, it was a euphoric bit of pop fluff at its campy best!
