"Be My Lover Now" is a song by the British singer and composer Philip Oakey and producer Giorgio Moroder. It was written by Oakey and Moroder and recorded for the album Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder. It was released as a single in the UK in August 1985 where it reached number 74 in the singles charts and remained in the charts for 1 weeks. It was the third and final sngle to be released from the brief Oakey/Moroder partnership which had started with the single Together In Electric Dreams (1984) [1]
Because the single was not a huge success and neither was the album it effectively ended the short lived partnership between Oakey and Moroder in 1985; Oakey returning to work with his band The Human League full time.
[edit] Music Video
The Music Video for “Be My Lover Now” was much less extravagant than the high budget video for the previous single "Good-Bye Bad Times". It borrows heavily from Robert Palmer’s “Addicted To Love” and Stock Aitkin and Waterman music videos of 1985.
The video has a surreal theme and features Philip Oakey performing on stage in an ornate theatre, with 3 female backing singers/dancers and two female podium dancers either side of the stage who are are dressed identically. To an audience of identical blue dress wearing female ‘clones’ in their 30s/ 40s who are competing for Oakey’s attention.
