"Vision of You" is a song by American singer Belinda Carlisle, released by MCA and Virgin Records as the fifth single (sixth in Japan) from her third solo album, Runaway Horses (1989). The song was released on May 14, 1990, in the United Kingdom and reached number 41. A year later, it was remixed and re-released on 12-inch vinyl with a live version of "Heaven Is a Place on Earth", but this release charted lower, at number 71. "Vision of You" is written by Rick Nowels and Ellen Shipley, and produced by Nowels.

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

Paul Lester from Melody Maker felt Carlisle "comes on all overblown and bombastic just when pop decided to rid itself of all fleshy excess and fussy baggage (re-house, acid, etc). Belinda's almost Beatles-esque attention towards the elaborate flourish, and a steadfast refusal to swop meandering patterns for a simplistic crash-bang-wallop, must surely be applauded."[1] In 1991, pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Now that rumours are spreading about a reunion of the Go-Go's, this re-release of an old Carlisle solo record will kill time. The slow, catchy melody will provide a moment of peace on EHR stations."[2] Peter Stanton from Record Mirror viewed the song as a "mellow number [that] is idly going nowhere."[3]

Music video

[edit | edit source]

A music video was produced to promote the single, featuring both live footage of the song's performance and tour material shot during her Asian tour.
