Vibrator

 

In the late 80's Terence Trent D'Arby's released his first album Introducing The Hardline According To... and this record reached the highest regions of the charts mostly all over Europe. He gave us a mass compatible album with roots in rhythm and blues that satisfied many people around me at this time. It was an album many could agree to but I lost my attention to him because everywhere his songs were played. In 1995 he released his fourth album Vibrator and this one hit me because he lost his high chart positions during the years and turned his music into the way he wanted it. The result was an album that is timeless and filled with highly great arranged songs far away from mainstream. I found this CD a few days ago after a long time and was surprised that this album is still relevant today. On this album he showed us a spectrum of sounds that was a blueprint for many other R&B artists that came the next decades. Once someone said it is too rock for R&B and too R&B for rock - and this might be true
