A California synth-pop group that landed a massive hit in the 'Top Gun' soundtrack.
If you only know 'Take My Breath Away,' try 'Animal' for a grittier feel. 'The Metro' is another good one to hear their early synth-pop edge.
Berlin's 'Take My Breath Away' became a defining song of the 1980s after it was used in 'Top Gun.' Beyond that hit, their catalog includes tracks like 'Animal' and 'The Metro,' which show a darker, more driving side of their synth-pop sound. Terri Nunn's voice has been the constant through decades of lineup changes and new albums.
They formed in 1980 from the remains of a band called Valentine, with their debut arriving in 1984. The 1985 album 'Love Life' brought them mainstream attention, and they kept recording through the late '80s and into the 2000s. Nunn has fronted the group through all of it, including recent releases like 'At This Moment' in 2019.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
