Lisa Stansfield – All Around the World

“All Around the World” – Single by Lisa Stansfield from the album Affection, released on 16 October 1989.

“All Around the World” is a song by English singer, songwriter and actress Lisa Stansfield from her debut studio album, Affection (1989). It was released as the album’s second single on 16 October 1989 by Arista Records. It was written by Stansfield, Ian Devaney and Andy Morris, and produced by Devaney and Morris.

The accompanying music video of “All Around the World” was directed by Philip Richardson. It was nominated as Best New Artist in a Video on the MTV Video Music Awards in 1990. The video was later made available on Stansfield’s official YouTube channel in 2012 and had generated more than 77 million views as of April 2024.

The video opens with a close-up of Stansfield in black-and-white speaking the intro. As the song begins, the camera circle around Stansfield, now in colours. The backdrop is a world map. Her hair is very short, she wears red lipstick and her famous kiss curls. Next she sits outdoors in the rain, performing on the stairs in front of a house. Other scenes shows Stansfield singing, while she rotates in the middle of a ring of men standing next to each other as the camera follows her round. Towards the end, she stands in the rain and sings as the raindrops are falling on her face.

The video on the top has been recorded in 1992 by Lisa and the soul icon, Barry White. The song was included on her single ‘Time To Make You Mine’, with all royalties going to the charity Trading Places.

The music video is directed by Peter Stuart, and it’s a fantastic watch from start to finish. The video sees Barry and Lisa singing seductively to each other in a golden room, with Barry sitting down on a stool and taking the odd moment to dab his sweat with a handkerchief.
