About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Although the relatively polished production belies the Go-Go's' punk roots, Beauty and the Beat remains one of the cornerstone albums of new wave, bristling with energy, revamped surf rock and girl-group hooks, and an intoxicating sense of fun. The infectious, bouncy "We Got the Beat" and the pulsating "Our Lips Are Sealed," which Jane Wiedlin co-wrote with Terry Hall, sent Beauty and the Beat to unexepected hit status, but they only scratch the surface of the wonderful pop songs that comprise the record. Nearly every song on the record is a delight, propelled by big, catchy hooks and an exuberant sense of fun. "Lust to Love," "Skidmarks on My Heart," "Tonite," and "Fading Fast" could have been hits in their own right, but as it stands, they help make Beauty and the Beat into a terrifically exciting pop album. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

June 22, 2002: Released in 1981, this debute album stayed at #1 for 6 weeks, the first album by an all girl band to do so. This wasn't a mistake, The Go Go's debute is powerful pop and has the catchiest songs since the likes of Blondie. Lust to Love and This Town are pumping jewels, pounding with great energy. Our Lips are Sealed and We Got the Beat are the two standout tracks and with both being the hits that they were, is what propelled this debute to #1. This album is a absolute must, it's sweet, it's sassy, it's great fun. Belinda Carlisle's vocals are as sweet and refreshing as a summer breeze, brilliant beginging from the Go Go's.
