 "Forever Young" is the debut album by Alphaville, a German group composed of Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd, and Frank Mertens that, in the mid-'80s, achieved great success thanks to the first singles released from the album in question.

 Prostitute appears decidedly distant from the radio standards of the mid-90s, a period when unknown pop starlets like Alanis Morissette suddenly discovered they had a rock soul, and even Kiss and Motley Crue dabbled in parroting grunge, Alphaville managed to proudly impose their personality, creating the most complex, eclectic, fascinating, and ambitious album of their entire career.
