Nights Like This by Stacey Q

Nights Like This is the third studio album by American singer Stacey Q, released on June 8, 1989 by Atlantic Records. It was her last album to be released on the Atlantic label before she went on a hiatus from making music until the release of her album Boomerang (1997). After the moderate commercial success of her album Hard Machine (1988), Swain decided to pursue a new musical direction. She again worked with Jon St. James but also invited other producers, such as Clivillés & Cole, Robert Gordon or Bruce Gaitsch, to achieve a different sound. Nights Like This is predominantly influenced by freestyle and house music, making it a musical departure from her previous work. The album is, like her album Hard Machine, dedicated to her friend and hair stylist, Danny Medellin, who died in 1988. Upon its release, Nights Like This received generally positive reviews from music critics, but was a commercial failure. It became her first album not to reach the Billboard 200. Two singles were released from the album. The lead single, "Give You All My Love", peaked at number sixteen on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs and number eight on the Singles Sales chart. Accompanying music videos were released for both, the album version and the Crossover House Mix of the song. "Heartbeat" was released as the second single and it became a minor adult contemporary format radio hit.
