Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capitalizing on the global success of his previous soft-rock ballads, the singer-songwriter delivered another polished set of adult contemporary tracks. The production is characteristically slick, featuring sweeping orchestral arrangements and sentimental lyricism aimed squarely at mainstream radio. It became a significant commercial triumph, dominating album charts particularly in European markets.
