The second single from Paula Abdul's 1991 album 'Spellbound' was the upbeat 'The promise of a new day'. A number one hit in the USA, it fared less well in Europe. Probably because this part of the world is less vulnerable to hollow phrases like 'Tides are turning bringing winds of change'.Despite the tacky lyric, I did like the song and had no qualms about buying this single. 'Spellbound' was one of my favourite albums of 1991 but it has not aged so well, unfortunately.

Found: Free Record Shop, Den Haag, August 23, 1991
Cost: 6 guilders
Tracks: 'The promise of a new day' / 'The promise of a new day (West Coast 7 inch edit)'
