  Branigan 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Branigan 2 is the second album by singer Laura Branigan, released in 1983 (see 1983 in music).
In addition to cementing for Branigan a place in pop history and ensuring that she was much more than a one-hit wonder, her sophomore album's two big hits began the careers for two then-unknowns who themselves became industry legends.
Branigan made it her own, coldly laughing as she emotively tells the tale of a girl's revenge, all to that killer hook.

Branigan's death was the most tragically unexpected -- she had complained of headaches two weeks before, but had not sought out medical attention.
Branigan's hit song "Gloria" -- which, if you confuse it with the Van Morrison/Them version, might mean you might want to get that head problem checked out -- was all over the pop music stratosphere in 1982, despite the best efforts of scientists and faith healers.

For her first album Laura Branigan established what was to be a format for her first four albums, either heartbreak piano ballads asking why it happened, or women of independence celebrated or critiqued by a blast of synthesizer-laced 80's dance numbers.
This, Laura Branigan's debut, showcases her ability to sing country flavored tunes "All Night With Me", passion ballads "Lovin' You Baby", "If You Loved Me", and even a horrible "Gloria" arranged rock song "Living A Lie".
This CD is remarkable because Branigan is Laura Branigan's debut release and it is unusual for a new artists to have such strength and control of his/her voice.
