BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984

“Talk To Me (I Can Hear You Now)” is the 1984 debut single by short lived eighties group Iam Siam. Despite a ground breaking music video and heavy rotation from MTV, this incredible tribal pop anthem failed to connect with the masses. Iam Siam was not so much a band as a studio project. Mainly the brainchild of Stefan Vienna (Steven Weiner) who wrote most of the lyrics, Iam Siam also included Brian Rothschild songwriter, producer David Sonenberg and Larry Fast (of Synergy fame). The group only released one album titled “She Went Pop” before falling into obscurity.
