The popularity of British synth-pop outfit Talk Talk was something of a slow burn. Despite a constant stream of albums throughout the 1980s, the group seemed to be continually denied the kind of success that they hungered for. They would, of course, later be chronicled as a shining creative force - an inventive alternative to the more ephemeral synth-pop of the era.
The title track to the band’s second album, It’s My Life, was released as a single in January 1984. Surprisingly, this extremely effective song reached a meagre 46 in the UK chart, but elsewhere, more promising results proved that Talk Talk's work had legs.
