BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
“Energy” is a song performed by American singer Melissa Manchester, from her 1985 album Mathematics.
The song was arranged by veteran songwriter Greg Mathieson and was released as the second single from the album, following the underperformance of the lead single “Mathematics”, MCA hoped to reverse the album’s fortune by releasing this Hi-NRG track with an aim for the club market.
Melissa Manchester filmed a video clip to promote the song, which sees the singer and her band in a sort of industrial-setting stage performing the song.
The single was released on 7″ and 12″ formats featuring remixes, but it failed to chart either on the Billboard Hot 100 or the dance charts and failed to chart elsewhere.
