As Toyah’s new studio album, Future Dreaming, is being finalised for release, take a look back – via Dreamscape’s huge news archive – at Toyah’s most recent studio album, Posh Pop.
Upon its release, almost five years ago, the album received great reviews from a number of magazines, there were some great articles published focusing on the album, fan reaction to the release was universally positive too. Toyah filmed videos for every song, and toured the album in late 2021/early 2022.
Toyah wrote and recorded each song almost entirely on her own – with only collaboration and input from Simon Darlow and Bobby Willcox. Toyah also filmed each video and captured all of the associated promo shots/photos with little outside assistance. Amazing!
The album charted at #22 on the Official UK Album Chart. Posh Pop became Toyah’s highest charting studio album since 1982, when The Changeling peaked at #6.

NB. When I look at the huge archive this website has created over the past 26+ years, and the work involved, when I could have not bothered to do any of it, I sometimes wonder why there’s been so much animosity directed at me, and I could name names. It’s just odd, but then it’s been going on for fucking decades now! I guess enthusiasm and positivity is threatening to it’s opposites!!
Toyah’s October blog is available to read at toyahwillcox.com. As well as an abundance of news – there’s a very special announcement coming on 1st November, I think most of us are hoping this is about a much rumoured book – the blog also includes Part Two of Toyah’s personal insights into the songs included on her recent Chameleon album.
