Song of the Day: 'War Boys' by Annabella (Lwin)

 

Russia's brutal assault on Ukraine reminded a reader of this one, an underrated (little heard?) freestyle gem from 1986's "Fever," the debut solo album by Annabella Lwin released just after the breakup of Bow Wow Wow. 


While I was looking up information for this post I discovered that Annabella actually had a second solo album -- 26 years after her first(!) -- called "Super Boom!!" (2012) that I'm listening to right now. There also appears to be a 2016 re-issue with two more songs and two less (more?) exclamation points. Question: If I didn't even know about this, who did?


Also: A 2016 interview makes reference to a "new" EP called "Willow Tree," although I can find nothing to back this up. ("Spirits of the Earth" and "Garden of Pleasure" were two of the song titles.) Can anyone help me out? 

UPDATE:


Apparently the songs were written in the late '80s, some of which are demos from "Fever."

And would you look at this? I had no idea she had shared my GoFundMe when Larry was deathly ill. xo
