Album Notes & Community Reviews

Initially released exclusively in Japan, 'Prone' is a masterpiece of breezy, incredibly sophisticated West Coast soul and yacht rock. Ned Doheny's impeccable, sun-drenched songwriting is backed by a staggeringly talented array of L.A. session musicians, delivering deep, disco-inflected grooves and lush vocal harmonies. The hit 'To Prove My Love' secured the album's status as a holy grail among aficionados of AOR and city pop.
