"Keeping Secrets" by Christine McVie

Christine McVie has been the keyboardist and one of the hit-making voices in Fleetwood Mac since 1970. While most of the other members of the band have released multiple solo albums, Christie McVie has only indulged in two, not counting her pre-Fleetwood Mac effort from 1970 released under her maiden name, Christine Perfect, or her more recent duo effort with Lindsey Buckingham.

McVie's biggest solo effort came in 1984, following the monstrous success of Fleetwood Mac in the 1970s and early 1980s. It was self-titled record and yielded her only two chart hits: "Got A Hold On Me" (#10) and "Love Will Show Us How" (#30). She would soon regroup with Fleetwood Mac for their hugely successful comeback album, "Tango In The Night."

While most of the tracks are pretty nondescript, "Keeping Secrets" strikes me as an underrated gem. It has a catchy chorus with ear-pleasing harmonies that make it worthwhile.
