Nina Hagen – Universal radio (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusivev1985

“Universal Radio” is a song by German singer Nina Hagen from her third studio album Nina Hagen in Ekstasy (1985). It was released as the lead single from the album in January 1985 by Columbia Records. Written by Ron Dumas and produced by Adam Kidron, “Universal Radio” became successful in the US charts, peaking at number 39 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs. It was premiered by Rodney Bingenheimer on the radio station KROQ Los Angelas. “Universelles Radio”, the German version of the song was also released.

The music video for the song featured footage of her performance at the Rock in Rio festival from January 13, 1985.

Hagen worked with Ron Dumas, who had previously recorded the song in 1983 with his band Ron Dumas Group. She later described the song as not being musically very interesting and that she originally wanted to do her vocals differently, but was directed by the recording company to make the record more “commercial”.

**Please note the noise at the start of the Album version is supposed to be there.
