About The Record:
Bright Lights, Big City, by Various Artists, is the soundtrack to the film adaptation of Jay McInerney's novel starring Michael J. Fox as a fact-checker navigating New York City's nightlife and personal turmoil. It features an eclectic mix of artists including Prince with the funky Good Love, Donald Fagen's jazzy Century's End, New Order's True Faith, Bryan Ferry, Depeche Mode, and Narada Michael Walden, capturing the vibrant 1980s club scene and emotional depth of urban excess. A unique aspect is Prince's contribution of an upbeat track originally intended for other projects, adding his signature style to the compilation. Fan-favorites often include the Prince and Fagen cuts for their memorable grooves and reflective lyrics on city life. The album reached No. 67 on the Billboard 200 while the single Century's End by Donald Fagen peaked at No. 83 on the Billboard Hot 100.
