When MTV launched in 1981, it paved the way for a decade of some of the most audacious, cinematic and iconic music videos, where the budgets were almost as big as the hair. We turn our spotlight on a few of our favourites… 

The fifth album by British singer and songwriter Billy Ocean, Suddenly was his breakthrough record both at home and in the US. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this month, we’re looking back at some of the album’s biggest and most enduring hits.

We’re excited to announce that Billy will celebrate the 40th anniversary of his landmark album ‘Suddenly’ by releasing a new ocean blue vinyl edition on September 13th – almost 40 years to the day from its original release!

Billy Ocean has released a stunning new animated video for his 1976 hit single, ‘Love Really Hurts Without You’, in celebration of his self-titled debut album’s 45th anniversary this year.

‘One World’, the new album from Billy Ocean and his first new material in ten years, is out now.

Do music videos get any more uplifting than this?

ELO release an entire album on betamax, Elvis leaves the army and goes right back in the studio, Ray Davies gets a gong and more. It’s this week in rock.
