Change is an Italian-American post-disco group that was most active during the late 1970s and 1980s. They are best known for their infectious blend of R&B, dance, and pop, which culminated in a series of hits that continue to resonate with audiences today.

Emerging at the tail-end of the disco era, Change conquered the dance floors and airwaves with their debut single "A Lover's Holiday" from their first album "The Glow of Love" in 1980, which showcased the impeccable lead vocals of the then-unknown Luther Vandross. The band was a studio concoction initially formed by the visionary Italian music entrepreneur Jacques Fred Petrus and Mauro Malavasi. They quickly established a trademark sound with sophisticated arrangements, catchy hooks, and strong vocals from a rotating cast of performers.

Over the years, Change navigated through changing musical tides and personnel shifts, always managing to stay relevant while retaining their distinctive sound. Their discography captures the evolution of dance music through the 80s, highlighting a consistent display of quality and innovation. Even in the face of music industry changes and the passing of founding member Petrus, the band has persevered, rebooting itself with new releases and remixes for the modern audience.

Their latest offerings, including the "Love 4 Love" album with its expanded edition and various remixes such as "Love 4 Love (Remix by Joey Negro)" and "Make Me (Go Crazy) (OPOLOPO Remix)", signify a triumphant return to the music scene, blending the classic Change vibe with contemporary production techniques. Tracks like "Time for Movin'" and "Let's Go Together" serve as testaments to the band's enduring ability to get people on their feet and celebrate the ongoing legacy of Change's contributions to dance music.
