I Can Dream About You is a quintessential 80’s album that perfectly captures the era’s vibrant energy and cheesy earnestness. Blending pop, rock, and synth elements, Hartman’s powerful voice cascades over arrangements whose bias for danceability hides some pretty excellent melodic choices. If you close your eyes and listen closely you can hear the influence of fellow power pop 80’s icons Hall & Oates in a lot of the arrangements. It’s a decision that made the title track a smash hit as soon as the album was released, with a staying power that continues to this day.
