Belinda Carlisle Go-Go's It Alone

Belinda Carlisle Go-Go's It Alone

Belinda Carlisle perches on the chair in her hotel room. "I think the Go-Go's did do a lot a help bands like the Bangles," she says. "But, then were other girl groups before us who helped the Go-Go's."

a songfest guaranteed to reclaim the commercial glory of the Go-Go's and establish Belinda as a happenin' solo artist. (Of course, she was helped out by erstwhile ex-Go-Go Charlotte Caffey, who not only played guitar on the album, but wrote many of the songs...and a host of superstar studio guests like Susanna Hoffs of the Bangles and Andy "He's such a great guy!" Taylor of Duran Duran.)

Belinda isn't looking back, though. "The Go-Go's weren't fun anymore," she states quite honestly. "It was time to try something new."
