style: US Hardrock – female band !!

Vixen is the self-titled debut by the American all-female Hard rock/Glam metal band Vixen. It was released in 1988 with great success in America and Europe, and featured the hit singles “Edge of a Broken Heart”, “Cryin'” and “Love Made Me”.
Formulated from the very glamorous elements that made hair metal in the ’80s so decadently enjoyable, Vixen was the female equivalent of Warrant: rocking just hard enough so it was OK for macho hair metal dudes to enjoy and just soft enough so that they would be the darlings of the then MTV circuit. The formula paid off in spades, and the Richard Marx-penned lead single “Edge of a Broken Heart” blazed up the charts and usurped the throne from many of the macho hair metal dudes in all of their hair spray and make-up ridden glory. The rest of the album had the gratuitous power ballads, hard driving party tunes, and everything else in between that rock bands were pontificating about in the late ’80s. It is one of the very, very the best of the era…..
