Celebrating: Be Proud Be Loud (Be Heard)

April 3rd, 2022

“You give me, fire!”

This weekend has been something of an official “unofficial” celebration of one of Toyah’s most glorious pop moments.

The uplifting 1982 anthem Be Proud Be Loud (Be Heard) – written by Toyah Willcox and Joel Bogen, and originally released in August 1982 – and it’s gorgeous related imagery. With a Toyah At Home special, a retro, and incredibly rare, performance of the song from Italian music show, Popcorn, which aired on Italian TV channel Canale 5 from 1980 to 1985!

Official Toyah popped the cherry on the icing of the “Be Proud” cake by also sharing a previously unseen shot from the Be Proud Be Loud (Be Heard) beach photo session.

“Soul deep!”

Aside from all that, how ahead of the curve was Toyah? The positivity and message of Be Proud Be Loud (Be Heard) is relatable, and relevant, to right now. And the song still sounds so good, from that zoom-in intro to the very last second… (Photo © Cherry Red Records / Screen Caps from a video that is © Canale 5)

Toyah & Robert’s Sunday Lunch series continues to be phenomenally successful, but overall Toyah’s You Tube channel is performing amazingly in itself. In the past two years the channel has gained 149K followers and each Sunday Lunch video receives hundreds of thousands of views each week. Although as the trilogy of retrospective Sunday Lunch collections from the beginning of the year testified, some of these cover clips have been viewed in their many millions!

Toyah At Home, Burning Question and sporadic other content such as Toyah promo videos or announcements all attract big audiences, with Sunday Lunch the cherry on top of the icing on the Toyah & Robert cake!
