About this album

Time And Tide is Basia’s elegant solo debut, balancing polished pop hooks with jazz harmony and dance-floor sophistication. Released in 1987 after her work with Matt Bianco, the album introduced her distinctive voice and cosmopolitan style to a wider audience, with sleek production that blended synth-pop, dance-pop and contemporary jazz. Songs such as Promises and New Day For You helped establish her as a rare pop artist with real rhythmic and melodic subtlety. The record became a key statement of late-1980s sophisti-pop, setting the tone for her international profile and enduring appeal.
