The Bridge

Billy Joel

The production includes synth-tinged layers that define the mid-eighties aesthetic. It captures a songwriter at a crossroads, moving from the intimacy of the seventies to a more aggressive pop-rock style.

Tracks such as Baby Grand highlight a career milestone for the artist. The record maps the change in his output as he leaned into the high-gloss sound that dominated airwaves during the late eighties.
