BUY 46 – Lene Lovich: Say When

‘Stateless had also charted and – keen to profit from the success of Lucky Number – Stiff released the high-tempo Say When as a single on 4 May [1979]. Lovich performed it with rapid arm movements which were mimicked by an ecstatic audience in the accompanying video made by Stiff Visions. Lovich and Stiff were clearly on a roll. Sounds named it Single Of The Week and it entered the chart on 12 May. Five weeks later it had made No 19, ensuring two consecutive Top 20 hits for the new lady of Stiff.’
