In 1983, Hilary Blake, a 33 year old from Los Angeles released a 4 track 12-inch single called KINETIC. That song got some airplay on WLIR, but it was the B-side that made fans long for more Hilary.
DROP YOUR PANTS has that catchy Yaz-like synthpop, but was SOO much sexier than anything Alison Moyet would ever sing about.
As far as I know, she never released anything else. She was once asked about promotional videos and she replied "Yes - there is a video for Kinetic. Actually, I wanted to do a cartoon video for Drop Your Pants, but the people at the label thought DYP would never get any airplay. So ...of course...DYP broke out as my single and I had no video for it."
AH...and those LYRICS....." Drop your pants around your ankles, you make me shiver when you deliver".....it's so beautiful, it should have become a wedding standard. Perhaps if a more recent Hilary ,(CLINTON), had used this song she might have possibly gotten the Democratic nomination.

Hi
I was wondering ca u PLEASE post the song "I Live" by Hilary.. I have never heard it..
Thank you
I was so sad when I found out she died, she was so young!! Now Kinetic will really be the only thing she ever did release ):
Greetings. My copy of her 4 track 12" has mysteriously vanished. I would really appreciate a re-up of "Drop Your Pants".
Thanks.
I have looked everywhere and cannot find drop your pants anywhere. Is there a mp3 posted somewhere?
