So I have a theory who the singer could be. I haven't paid attention to the voice yet, but her appearance is pretty similar, she has the same ears and nose like in the video. I'm talking about Sandra Lauer Cretu

With how well it fits the video, I think it might have been written for it. I'd be willing to call it solved if you submit a proposal. Thank you so much guys!! It's so good! I can't understand half the lyrics though

The song is on a Sony digital voice recorder which I purchased
at a Goodwill in Northern California. The context of my reply there was to a question asking where I bought it

You heard this at a GoodWill in Northern California? Or you picked up the song at a Goodwill?

It's live drums rather than a drum machine. I dragged it into a DAW and the beat drifts off grid.

I have a few suggestions:
1. Try to figure out what drum machine they used.
This can help us to pinpoint what year this song was made.
2. Identify the singer(s).
Identifying the singer(s) is a crucial piece of evidence to help aid our search.
3. Ask more questions. WindLamp, you say "I didn't record it myself", yet you found it in Northern California. Did someone else record the song and show you it? You also say "I got it at a Goodwill in Northern California", but again claim you didn't record it yourself.

4. Other possibilities. We've seen with other lost songs that most of the songs we lose happen to be from an obscure porno. We've recently seen "Ulterior Motives" in Angels of Passion. The chances of this being from a porno as well are quite low in my opinion, but never zero.

Stacy Lattisaw is a good match for the vocals! I also thought it could be :
- Patrice Rushen (similar voice?) or
- Margie Joseph (who was at Cotillion, same label as Stacy Lattisaw and Sister Sledge)

I think it's not a real string section - it's some kind of synth sound to my ears. You can hear it's kind of bell-like. If I had to guess I would put an earliest date at 1980 (release of the first FM synth, the GS1). Someone more knowledgeable might be able to recognize the synth sound

*around you are coming to all
SupVotivesThu, 09 May 2024 13:47
I think the first line is "All that could be true"

What I hear (although doesn't make much sense):
All that could be true
And thank you off the new style (?!)
So many feelings
Coming to all
That's the magic
I'll stick to supreme (?)
And love you like a dream
So many angels
Can feel like it never ends
Now let -

Coming to us

That’s the magic
I’ll set you so free
And love you like a dream
So many achin’
Can feel alike
It never ends

Yeah, the voices sound like native speakers but the nonsense lyrics make me suspect it's not? Maybe a video game?

Perhaps a japanese city pop artist who sing in English ? The style reminds me of Yurie Kokubu

Can you please upload this sample to https://vocaroo.com/upload also please!
windlampMon, 06 May 2024 00:24
Nope, I wish I did. The only other thing on the recorder is some kind of amateur jazzy piano music which I am pretty sure is unrelated

It also reminds me of the very early 80's...HBO used to have variety shows sometimes and this makes me think of the theme songs that they used to play at the beginning. It was usually written specifically for the show. And not to get EKT on this idea, but some of the shows featured burlesque dancers in the nude.
