Description

Pretty Poison was no flash in the pan. Although “Catch Me” is their biggest commercial success to date, they have a whole history as part of Philly’s underground rock scene back in the early 80s.When singer Jade Starling joined the band at age 17, she shared songwriting duties with Whey Cooler and began exploring musical terrains that were more akin to Darkwave and New Wave than the Dance Pop of their later years. Influenced by early freestyle hits, they incorporated urban percussion to their sound, which was perfected by the time they started work on “Catch Me,” a No. 1 Dance hit, top 10 on pop, and top 15 on R&B.Though Starling and Cooler paused Pretty Poison momentarily to return to their rock roots, Dance soon came calling, with their catalog securing a place in popular culture through its inclusion in major movies and television series.More on Pretty PoisonWebsite: https://www.prettypoisonmusic.comJade Starling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jadestarling/Jade Starling Twitter: https://twitter.com/JadeStarlingParty2Life website: https://www.party2life.orgShow TracklistingJust What I Needed (The Cars)Pretty Poison (Ram Jam)Excerpt from "Pretty Poison" TrailerGimme Gimme Your Autograph (Pretty Poison)No Tears (Pretty Poison)Nightime (Pretty Poison)Catch Me (I'm Falling) Original Version (Pretty Poison)Catch Me (I'm Falling) Album Version (Pretty Poison)Let Freedom Ring (Pretty Poison)Excerpt from "AJ & The Queen" (Netflix)Host and Producer: Diego MartinezExecutive Producer: Nicholas "NickFresh" PuzoAudio Engineer: Adam Fogel Follow us on social media: @choonspodSubscribe to our PATREON: patreon.com/choonspod
