Summary:
Adele Bertei’s 1985 single "When It’s Over," produced by David Gamson and featuring Green Gartside, showcases two distinct mixes: the dance-oriented "Dance Mix" with vibrant, intricate production and the more subdued "Metal Mix." The latter leans into a radio-friendly sound while incorporating rock elements reminiscent of Michael Jackson’s "Beat It." The B-side, a heartfelt piano ballad cover of "Every Little Bit Hurts," highlights Bertei’s vocal prowess and emotional depth, standing in stark contrast to the A-side. Initially dismissive of Bertei due to her role in Thomas Dolby’s gimmicky track, the review reflects a newfound appreciation for her artistry.
