"True" is the title track from Spandau Ballet's 1983 album of the same name. The smooth, jazz-influenced ballad peaked at #1 on the UK Singles Chart and #4 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's biggest international hit.
Gary Kemp wrote the song as a tribute to Clare Grogan, lead singer of the Scottish band Altered Images, whom he had a crush on at the time. Its distinctive saxophone solo, played by Steve Norman, became one of the most recognizable instrumental moments of the 80s.
“Maria” is from Blondie’s 1999 comeback album No Exit, their first studio release in 17 years. Built around a soaring melody and Debbie Harry’s commanding vocal, the song tells of fascination with an irresistible, elusive woman and marked the band’s triumphant return to the charts. It became a major European hit, reaching #1 in the UK and proved that Blondie could still deliver the kind of stylish pop that had made them one of the defining bands of the new-wave era.
