On this day June 21, 1988, synth pop group Book of Love released their second studio album Lullaby. Known for their dreamy melodies and electronic textures, the band expanded their sound on this release, adding orchestral elements and more mature songwriting. The album featured tracks like Pretty Boys and Pretty Girls and You Make Me Feel So Good, both of which became favorites in clubs and on alternative radio.
Lullaby reached number 156 on the Billboard charts but built a strong following within the underground dance and new wave scenes. With its blend of poetic lyrics, synth driven production, and a touch of classical influence, the album stood out as a thoughtful and stylish entry in late 80s pop.
80s insight: Lullaby reflected the evolution of synth pop in the late 80s, as bands began to explore more emotional depth and experimental sounds beyond the dance floor.
