Review by Amy Kazor
Surface's self-titled album is a soulful and funky collection of tracks that transports listeners straight to the dance floor. The band's smooth harmonies and tight instrumentals create an infectious groove that is impossible to resist. From the upbeat and energetic "Happy" to the romantic slow jam "You Are My Everything," Surface showcases their versatility and musical prowess throughout the album. The standout track "Shower Me With Your Love" became an instant classic and remains a beloved staple of 80s R&B. Surface's debut album is a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences today.

Comments
This is one of the most understated groups. Talented and capable of moving with the times. We should hear more from them. I love these fellas and their music, which is never out of style... never. Vivian [The 'Lump"] Bratmeyer. I miss Dave.
