Trouble in Paradise

by Randy Newman

Delivering his signature biting satire wrapped in slick, upbeat Los Angeles pop-rock, Newman's heavily synthesized album features a sprawling cast of guest vocalists, including Paul Simon and Lindsey Buckingham. The hit single 'I Love L.A.' became an inescapable, albeit deeply misunderstood, anthem of 1980s American commercialism. The record brilliantly masks dark lyrical themes under pristine, sunny production.
