Thereza Bazar – Too Much In Love (Europe 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Too Much In Love” is a 1985 single by Canadian-born British singer Thereza Bazar, best known as one half of the pop duo, Dollar.

Bazar released one solo album in 1985 called The Big Kiss, which she co-wrote. It was produced by Arif Mardin. The album reportedly cost half a million pounds to produce and generated media attention, but according to Bazar, the album’s circulation was poor due to a mix-up at the record company, with the album unavailable at the time of its advertised release. The album and its singles failed to chart.
