This 1979 breakthrough work by the British-born New York singer who is also a novelist.
The album includes the biggest hit "Escape" on the A-side. The talent that had been nurtured up until the previous album suddenly blossomed in this work and gained recognition.
The album includes the title track, "Drop," "Him," "Answering Machine," and other AOR-like hits and high-quality songs that were often heard on the radio in Japan at the time. A must-listen album that is highly rated by AOR fans, with an urban atmosphere of men and women and glimpses of human relationships.
