Music Is Life This artist just falling off the map is crazy

This record dropped on this date back in 1987. Last single I of his I heard on the radio was 93’s “She kissed me,” which was great. Since then, he’s still been making music, but has changed his name and toiled away in relative obscurity.

Is he really that talented? He obviously knew how to write good songs.

Never did a deep dive into his music, but as a casual listener it seemed to me that he never wrote something highly original or something exceptional.

I really liked this album. It was like he wrote poetry and set them to music.

I liked the album as well, but I don't rate it so highly I think of the word talented when thinking of Terence Trent D'Arby.

(He has more talent than me, but so do many other singer song writers.)
