Vibrant Hues of Rock: Steffanie’s ‘Pink Noise’ (K-12522)
Let’s explore the sophomore album from Steffanie Borges, known professionally as Steffanie. This is “Pink Noise,” released on May 25, 1986, via Warner Bros. Records (Warner-Pioneer Corporation) with the catalog number K-12522 with obi.
Following her successful 1985 debut, “Hideaway,” this 12-inch vinyl LP saw Steffanie further develop her sound, leaning into a more polished, catchy, and gorgeous style heavily influenced by the LA Metal and Pop Rock trends of the mid-80s. Produced by Kazuo Shiina and Tempei Matsubayashi, the album boasts a high-quality, professional sound.
“Pink Noise” features a collection of tracks showcasing Steffanie’s strong, melodic vocals backed by top-tier Japanese session musicians, including notable guitarists like Kenji Kitajima and Takayuki Hijikata. The album kicks off with the powerful “Burnin’ Up The Night,” a track penned by Tsugutoshi Goto which gained prominence as a theme song for the drama “Half Moon.” Other highlights include the upbeat, melodic “Miles Away” (co-written by Lea Hart) and catchy rock anthems.
Adding variety, the album includes two notable cover versions: Headpins’ “Turn It Loud” and the Alice Cooper classic “School’s Out,” demonstrating Steffanie’s ability to tackle established rock hits. Steffanie herself also contributed to the songwriting on tracks like “No Hold On You” and “Breakout.”
K-12522 captures Steffanie confidently embracing a more polished, internationally-influenced rock sound. “Pink Noise” stands as a strong sophomore effort, showcasing her vocal talent within a well-produced, accessible framework representative of the era.
