Album Notes & Community Reviews

Created during a brief hiatus from Queen, the iconic frontman utilized his sole solo album to fully indulge his obsession with synthesizer-driven dance-pop and flamboyant theatricality. 'Mr. Bad Guy' heavily features slick, electronic rhythms and opulent piano ballads, exploring themes of personal freedom and romance outside the confines of his legendary rock band. Though not a massive commercial success in America, the album yielded the major European hit 'I Was Born to Love You'.
