Boy Meets Girl is an American duo originally composed of George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam. Duo best known, aside from producing tracks for themselves, for writing tracks for others including "How will I know" and "I wanna dance with somebody (Who loves me)" for Whitney Houston.
For themselves they released a first self-titled album in 1985, an album which allowed them to land a first hit with the title "Oh girl".
But it is above all the album "Reel life" which will be released three years later in 1988 which will bring them a semblance of consecration with the enormous title "Waiting for a star to fall". Single which will make a real worldwide hit that year and allow the duo to inscribe their name once and for all in the musical history of the 80s.
Album which will also produce another high-caliber Single with the title "Bring down the moon" which will be released in 1989.
Major success which will be their last because everything that will come out thereafter will only know a level of success, to say the least, limited...

Clips :
1985...first title and already first success, an ideal introduction to the subject. Afterwards, we are not going to rejoice too much, the success is limited exclusively to the United States...
1985...a sequel that will go unnoticed to say the least, which proves de facto that we shouldn't be more happy than that...
1985... what is certain, however, is that this group has the potential to do great things. So we're going to give him time to prove it to us...
1986... the big take-off will not take place during this year 1986 at first sight. But the group is working on it anyway...
1988... it will have just been enough to give them two additional years to see them finally reach the Court of the big ones. It could not be otherwise !
1989...here they sign a new planetary hit which reinforces their status as the big revelation of the moment. Hoping that these repeated successes last...
1989...which unfortunately will not be the case, despite a more than obvious desire to do well. Hard law of the trade...
1989... that will not prevent them from continuing the adventure. As in music, everything is always possible, a possible return to the front of the stage cannot be ruled out...
1991...they will try to move on to the next decade with the firm intention of not giving up. We can only encourage them in this direction...
1991...especially since what they continue to offer is far from devoid of interest. In any case, we will be satisfied with it...
1991... now remains to be seen if they will have the courage to come back again and again if success continues to flee them in this way...
2003... they will certainly come back but we will have to wait a dozen years. But they are indeed there which can only delight the basic fans...
2003...a will to believe in it until the end which indisputably commands respect. After a pity that their return has gone somewhat under the radar …
2003...we say that the main thing is to participate but it is clear that they would have liked a little more recognition in relation to the work accomplished...
2003...the advantage of these articles is to bring to light precisely albums passed more or less in silence, especially when the quality is in order...
2021... with each title we tell ourselves that it will surely be the last and each time they come back. Certainly each time it takes them more than 10 years to do it but it's done again...
2021... we can only congratulate them for continuing to believe in it against winds and tides, despite the lack of notorious success...
2021... a talent that continues to express itself in an impressive way, despite the weight of the years. But it's like cycling, talent is not forgotten...
2021... so we imagine that this title will not be the last. On the other hand, if they respect their usual logic, we will not see them again until 2030...
