Another weekend - Five Star

'Another weekend' was a comeback of sorts for Five Star. It was the first single from their fourth album 'Rock the world'. Due to declining record sales, the group were intent on changing their clean-cut image. They opted for a new, raunchier leather-clad look, whilst the track demonstrated a slightly harder edged dance sound. Vocals sounded a bit like the Michael Jackson style of singing, with lots of exclamations.

The single was released as a limited edition in the UK, featuring a gatefold sleeve and five 7" square stickers, each featuring one band member. The single reached number 18 in the UK singles chart.
