Alisha – Bounce Back (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1990

“Bounce Back” is a song written by Michael Jay and Gregory Smith. The best-known version of the song is the 1990 version by American freestyle and dance-pop singer Alisha, from her same-titled album Bounce Back, although the track was also recorded by duo Fire on Blonde and American pop singer-songwriter Martika.

Michael Jay produced the track, as well as producing the entire album, whilst the song was released as the album’s lead single. It was Alisha’s last single to make any commercial impact.

Handing the song over to Alisha for her third album, Michael Jay also gave the singer the Fire on Blonde track “Wrong Number” for the album as well, and the song was also released as the second single. After the 1987 album Nightwalkin’ only gave Alisha some minor chart action, mainly on the Dance Charts, “Bounce Back”, released nearly two years after the previous single, gave the singer her biggest charting release on the American Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at #54 in mid-1990 On the American Dance Music/Club Play Singles chart, the song peaked at #10 whilst also peaking at #26 on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart.

Alisha – All Night Passion (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984

Side One

“All Night Passion” is the debut single by American singer Alisha. It was released from the self-titled album “Alisha” in the United States in 1984.

When Alisha was 14, she joined a local rock/dance group The Babysitters. Her parents arranged for her to record a demo tape with them, and her family sent the tape to several record companies. It eventually made its way to producer Mark S. Berry through Vanguard Records. Berry had been looking for a singer with a great voice to record “All Night Passion”. The song was recorded in the summer of 1983, but didn’t start getting airplay until February of 1984. The song became very successful in the clubs, eventually leading Alisha to sign with Vanguard Records in 1984 for a full-length album, which Berry went on to produce.
