"Be My Lover Now" is a song by British singer and songwriter 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 on the singles charts and remained on the charts for 1 week. It was the third and final single to be released from the brief Oakey/Moroder partnership which had started with the hit single "Together in Electric Dreams" (1984).[2]
Because the single was not a commercial success and neither was the album, it effectively ended the short-lived partnership between Oakey and Moroder in 1985. Oakey returned to work with his band the Human League full-time.
Music videoEdit
Philip Oakey in music video for "Be My Lover Now"
The music video for "Be My Lover Now" was less extravagant than the high budget video for the previous single "Good-Bye Bad Times".
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 dressed identically to an audience of identical blue dress wearing female 'clones' in their 30s/40s who are competing for Oakey's attention.
