New Girl Now (Honeymoon Suite)


Although the Toronto-based quintet Honeymoon Suite never managed to break through in a major way with audiences south of the border, they did find their way onto the charts a handful of times in the U.S. They also were a popular live act and opened for some of the period's biggest draws, including Heart, Journey, and Billy Idol. The band's formation can be traced to the introduction of lead vocalist Johnny Dee and guitarist Derry Grehan by the group's future manager in 1982. Within a year, Honeymoon Suite had been formed and earned the attention of WEA in Canada on the strength of the song "New Girl Now," which had won an unsigned band contest sponsored by a Toronto radio station. Their self-titled debut appeared in 1984 and established them as rising stars in their homeland, charting four Top Ten singles. One of those hits, "New Girl Now," managed to crack the U.S. charts, reaching the mid-50s, but garnered considerable airplay on rock radio. For the follow-up, they enlisted producer Bruce Fairbairn, and the resulting The Big Prize equaled the success of their debut, spawning four more Canadian Top Ten singles, including the ballad "What Does It Take," which managed to top the chart. The album also included Honeymoon Suite's sole U.S. Top 40 hit, "Feel It Again" (although "What Does It Take" would reach number 52). Despite working with another noted producer (Ted Templeman of Van Halen fame) for 1988's Racing After Midnight, the album failed to maintain their new-found momentum in the States. It didn't perform as well as past efforts in Canada, either, and the band wouldn't release an album of new material during the '90s. There would be a compilation of their biggest hits and best-known songs, including the theme from Lethal Weapon, in 1991. In 2002, the band released Lemon Tongue. Honeymoon Suite's inaugural self-titled album is an honest attempt at straightforward, power pop, and for the most part they deliver the goods. Rough around the edges and striated with keyboards, much of this album contains hardened guitar work painted with up-tempo choruses that hold their own. "New Girl Now" is a pleasing opener full of bluster and bite, with the help of the guitar-driven melody. "Burning in Love" sounds a wee bit empty, but the piercing synthesizer keeps it alive. Two other singles, "Wave Babies" and "Stay in the Light," present a brash, typical rock essence that is dated but still effective. Lead vocalist Johnny Dee sounds overambitious at times, but that's only to be expected, and doesn't really take anything away musically from the album. Especially for a debut, this album holds it's own and displays a conventional, seasoned sound.

Lyrics for New Girl Now (Honeymoon Suite)

Hot summer night Storm lies in the air My eyes are a little heavy I'm feeling in the past tense I'm hardly aware I don't want you on the phone don't you play that good girl with me Why must I always say it again I've got a new girl now I've got a new girl now I've got a new girl now And she's a lot like you I tried to wash my face But my head fell to low I tried to bury myself But my mind wouldn't stay at home I don't care if you're sitting at home somebody has broken into me Why must I always say it again I got a new girl now I got a new girl now I got a new girl now And she's a lot like you I don't want you on the phone don't you play good girl with me Why must I always say it again I've got a new girl now I've got a new girl now I've got a new girl now And she's a lot like you
