Henry Badowski, a one-album wonder, made waves in the early ’80s with Life Is A Grand, which featured the infectious single "My Face." Despite its initial charm and appeal, the album faded into obscurity, leaving fans longing for its return. Now, thanks to Caroline True Records, the album has been remastered and reissued, providing an opportunity for new listeners to experience its delightful New Wave sound.
One can’t help but ponder: why do so many talented artists, like Badowski, create one impactful work and then seemingly vanish? What does this tell us about the music industry and the pressures faced by artists?
