After working on a production with Kristian Hoffman, whose band Mumps were playing Max’s Kansas City and CBGB, the two began working together—with Hoffman writing originals and picking cover versions of popular songs that would showcase Nomi’s multi-octave vocal range. David Bowie hired Nomi as one his background singers for a 1979 performance on Saturday Night Live, and the exposure caught the eyes and ears of Bowie’s label, RCA. Soon Kristian and Klaus began recording Nomi’s debut album. Klaus Nomi appeared in 1981 featuring covers of Lou Christie’s “Lightning Strikes,” Leslie Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me,” Chubby Checker’s “The Twist,” and Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Samson And Delilah (Aria),” plus originals from Hoffman including “Nomi Song” and “Total Eclipse” (memorably performed in the 1981 film Urgh! A Music War).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003cbr\u003e01    Keys Of Life\u003cbr\u003e02    Lightning Strikes\u003cbr\u003e03    The Twist\u003cbr\u003e04    Nomi Song\u003cbr\u003e05    You Don't Own Me\u003cbr\u003e01    The Cold Song\u003cbr\u003e02    Wasting My Time\u003cbr\u003e03    Total Eclipse\u003cbr\u003e04    Nomi Chant\u003cbr\u003e05    Samson And Delilah (Aria)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-2\"\u003estreet date 8\/28\/2026\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WEA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45129613410504,"sku":"810075116434","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/95_a8aa72bf-f7a9-4ed4-9313-657cd3332a01.jpg?v=1783011435","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/products\/810075116434","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
