Released in 1980 to little fanfare, over time, Chaka Khan’s Clouds has gone on to become one of her most popular songs in the nightclubs. In 1989 it went on to be remixed by Clivilles & Cole and becoming a club classic in it’s own right.

Recorded especially for the soundtrack to Electric Dreams, Love is Love is a poignant tale of love with more meaning than ever before. The song went on to become another chart hit for Culture Club in 1985.
