The classic La Bouche sound—as heard on the international hits “Be My Lover” and “Sweet Dreams”—is a hybrid of mournful, storm-in-a-teacup Europop with sleek ‘90s techno. It's a very European blend, with very American influences (“Fallin' In Love” even flirts with new jack swing), created for maximum drama by producer Frank Farian, of Boney M. and Milli Vanilli fame. Led by the soulful warmth of Melanie Thornton—with occasional rap interludes from Lane McCray—these are supercharged torch songs, as fleet-footed as they are emotional.
