A double A-side single that depicts inner tension in a pop style
This 7-inch features Billy Joel contrasting "power" and "emotion" with his 80s sound. The sharpness of rock coexists with the lyricism of ballads.
"Pressure" is a tense number with synth/rhythm effects that captures urban frustration. On the other hand, "Laura" is a lyrical song that leans more towards character portrayal. Comparing the two, you can clearly see the breadth of Billie's expressive range at the time. The solidity of her playing and singing enhances the single's perfection.
