BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983

“Imagination” was a new wave synth-pop tune released as the second single from the fourteenth studio album of the same name by Australian-American pop singer Helen Reddy. The single along with the album were both received poorly due to MCA Records lack of promotion for the album and it’s singles. “Imagination” failed to have any chart impact. A music video was filmed for the new wave-flavored song by Reddy’s daughter Traci who had just graduated from USC film school. With the help of her classmates and a loan from the bank, she made a most imaginative film out of “Imagination” for only $15,000.”
