Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following his tenure in The Babys, the British vocalist achieved his greatest commercial breakthrough with this slickly produced solo effort. 'No Brakes' is famously anchored by the massive chart-topping single 'Missing You', showcasing his transition toward polished, synthesizer-laced pop rock. The album effectively balances energetic hard rock elements with radio-ready adult contemporary hooks.
