  • Exposé Brings 30 Years of Girl Power to the Stage as They Dip Back Into the '80s With a Brand New Generation of Fans

    So many great girl groups have come and gone over the years, but long before Fifth Harmony, Destiny's Child and even En Vogue took their turn as Billboard's hottest acts, there was Exposé. While Gioia Bruno, Ann Curless and Jeanette Jurado may have been first put together by a producer way back in 1985, they cemented their place in the record books pretty quickly. Their debut album Exposure first dropped in 1987, and they became the very first group in history to have four top ten singles from a debut effort, beating out legendary acts like The Supremes and even The Beatles. Exposé also became the first girl group in history to have seven back-to-back top ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100.

    What would happen if one day you woke up with your whole adult life ahead of you and you could rewrite all of your biggest decisions? Would things turn out better? How would you handle it? Vh1's new scripted series Hindsight attempts to answer that age-old time-traveling question with a major dose of nostalgia. The series begins with Becca (Laura Ramsey) on the eve of her second wedding. After a freaky elevator ride, she wakes up in New York City in 1995 on the morning of her first wedding and discovers she has the opportunity to live her 20s over again -- the “right way” this time. The show is full of ‘90s references and some cameos from ‘90s stars, but the real highlight is the music. We sat down with Vh1’s Music Supervisor Isaac Ayers to talk about the music behind the show and what we can expect to see as Season One progresses. Here’s what he had to say:

  • Harrison on Hardwell "Sally" Lyrics Controversy: 'It Was Our Plan the Whole Time'
