Album Notes & Community Reviews
Boy George and Culture Club achieved staggering global dominance with this impeccably crafted, highly rhythmic fusion of new wave and Motown-inspired blue-eyed soul. 'Colour by Numbers' is a profoundly melodic, brilliantly uplifting pop phenomenon that balances playful, danceable energy with deeply bittersweet, introspective lyrics concerning complicated romance.
