Question
I am trying to find out about a song that was sung by a female and had lyrics that went "I am walking away, I am walking away.....no denying, compromi????"  It had a real good beat to it (not techno, but a good slow to medium dance song).  My German penpal sent it to me along with song like Self-control by Laura Branigan, Love like blood by Killing Joke, Lady Nina by Marilion included on the tape.  Could you please help me find this? Thanks.

Answer
hey sam, i can only think of "Walking Away" which was a huge dance hit in the 90s. The artists who sported that post new-wave look called themselves "Information Society" which also made a huge hit with the hit 'What's On Your Mind" in 1988. but of course, you may double check if my homework gets your approval by checking out on youtube for the video of this song.

The 80s: a decade where the music was grand. i learned a great deal on the wonderworkings of new wave artists; those pop-rock ditties were remarkable, yet the laid-back love songs were always as good as it was then. as regards artists and their songs,i maybe of help though i'm partial to rap,country,and metal. I am also a smooth jazz junkie and may have infos to take you along a splendid music cruise in our time.
