This 1988 single from Book of Love captures the band at the height of their powers, blending infectious synth-pop with a touch of New Wave melancholy. It’s a prime example of their signature sound, which resonated throughout the late 80s.
- "Lullaby" was released as a single on June 21, 1988, by Rhino/Warner Records. The song featured a harder, more industrial-tinged beat than their previous work, a departure that surprised some fans. It did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100, but received significant airplay on dance and alternative radio formats.
- The single was later included on Book of Love’s 1989 compilation album, "The Best of Book of Love." This compilation aimed to capture the band's most popular tracks, solidifying their place in the synth-pop canon. The album served as a retrospective for the band during their active years.
- The B-side to the "Lullaby" single featured a remix of the song by producer Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream. This collaboration highlighted the band's willingness to experiment with different sounds and producers within the electronic music scene. Gillespie's remix offered a darker, more driving interpretation of the track.
Book of Love is a synth-pop band from the East Coast, active since the mid-1980s. The group emerged during a wave of electronic dance music that dominated the charts in the late 1980s.
