SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:56 Min.
From her 1988 album, The Lover In Me, Sheena Easton would perform this ballad in character as singer Caitlin Davies-Crockett in the Miami Vice TV episode, “Deliver Us From Evil,” serving as its fourth season’s ominous finale. The song also appears on 1988’s Miami Vice III soundtrack album and 2004’s Miami Vice: The Ultimate Collection CD.
REVIEW:
Oddly contradicting the steamy sex appeal theme imbuing The Lover In Me album, Easton’s effervescent “Follow My Rainbow” is an underrated gem. Treading on gospel-like optimism, this soaring pop ballad delivers Easton’s voice in vintage form. Its poignancy re: following one’s ‘rainbow’ to save a troubled romance by staying on course with resilient personal faith makes for an uplifting listening experience. Even if this effervescent song doesn’t age too well, it’s a reminder of Easton’s considerable talents when she is supplied a worthy song.
