Album Notes & Community Reviews

The second solo album from The Cars' frontman effectively channels the glossy, synthesizer-driven production of his main band. Featuring a duet with Roland Orzabal on the hit single 'Emotion in Motion', the record is a quintessentially pristine slice of mid-80s new wave pop.
