Honeymoon Suite - The Singles (1989)

Released in 1989, The Singles marked the first greatest hits collection from Canadian rockers Honeymoon Suite and arrived at a pivotal moment in the band’s career. With their classic lineup reunited for the accompanying tour, the album not only celebrated their past successes but also introduced fans to two new tracks that proved the group still had plenty of creative fire.

The fresh additions, “Still Lovin’ You” and “Long Way,” both written by guitarist Derry Grehan, fit seamlessly alongside the band’s earlier hits. “Still Lovin’ You” became a modest hit in Canada, its nostalgic warmth and heartfelt lyrics reflecting the group’s knack for timeless love songs. “Long Way,” meanwhile, is a driving, guitar-fueled anthem with an infectious chorus, showing the band’s ability to craft memorable, radio-ready rockers.

Of course, no Honeymoon Suite compilation would be complete without staples like “Feel It Again,” and "New Girl Now" songs that captures their signature mix of melody, emotion, and arena-ready energy. Equally noteworthy is “Lethal Weapon,” the high-octane theme song for the blockbuster film, which brims with the same intensity and adrenaline as the movie itself.

Though the band’s 1989 reunion was short-lived—keyboardist Ray Coburn departed not long after—The Singles stands as both a celebration of their peak era and a reminder of their impact on the 80s rock landscape.

With standout tracks like “Wave Babies,” and “Bad Attitude,” this collection offers both a perfect introduction for new listeners and a nostalgic journey for longtime fans. For anyone who loves melodic rock and 80s anthems, The Singles is an essential listen and a lasting testament to Honeymoon Suite’s place in Canadian rock history.~By Johan Wippsson
