Album Notes & Community Reviews

Willy DeVille relocated to Europe and largely reconstructed his backing ensemble to record this polished, synthesizer-infused rock album. The production distances the band from their gritty CBGB origins, embracing a lush, romantic sound heavily influenced by Brill Building pop and R&B.
