Introspective and emotional, adult rock soul.
This work was produced during Roxy Music's hiatus, and sublimates the personal pain of her own breakup.
This album is particularly autobiographical, even compared to his solo career, and backed by some of New York's finest musicians of the time, it weaves a tight, dry groove. The deeply soaking bassline and Bryan Ferry's melancholic vocals create a sense of urban nighttime silence. The intense intensity of his cover of the Velvet Underground's "What Goes On" is also a highlight. Shedding the mask of glamorous stardom, this is a masterpiece that objectively records the loneliness of one man.
