Album Notes & Community Reviews
Inspired by his move to New York City, Joe Jackson abandoned guitars entirely to craft a sleek, Cole Porter-influenced pop masterpiece. 'Night and Day' incorporates vibrant salsa percussion and bright synthesizers, exploring urban alienation, romantic longing, and nocturnal LGBTQ culture with incredibly melodic, highly rhythmic sophisti-pop sophistication.
