Bi-Coastal is the sixth studio album released in 1980 by Australian singer and songwriter Peter Allen. The album peaked at number 55 in Australia and number 123 on the Billboard 200.

Background

The album is Allen's most successful and was produced by David Foster who also wrote many of its songs. The hit "Fly Away", originally by Japanese artist Mariya Takeuchi, was co-written by Foster and Carole Bayer Sager. The title tune co-written by Foster and Tom Keane features double entendres comparing living on both coasts of the United States to Allen's own bisexuality. The album has become a classic with lovers of west coast pop music not just because of the songs but for the use of musicians like Toto, Steve Lukather, Jay Graydon and others.
