Stardust Serenade

Bal Balloon's “Stardust Serenade” begins with a firm drum break before settling into a mellow urban groove. The sisters' close harmony gives the song a soft glow, while the rhythm section keeps it from drifting into pure balladry.

The A-side, “Bahama,” supplies the brighter tropical face of the record. Its B-side turns the same summer setting toward evening, making this 1980 comeback single rewarding from both directions.
