Toyah’s otherworldly lyrics and evocative vocals have ensured these songs have had a lasting legacy beyond the chart hits. Album cuts such as Jungles of Jupiter, Race Through Space, We Are and Angel \u0026amp; Me are as revered as those chosen as singles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD2 is dedicated to Toyah’s solo recordings from 1985’s Top 30 hit ‘Don’t Fall In Love’ up to most recent single ‘Roses In Chains’ which Toyah performed at Glastonbury 2024.
