...But Seriously
Phil Collins
Polished production characterizes this late eighties release, featuring gated reverb drums and soulful horn sections. The record captures a moment where stadium-filling music embraced a more serious and expansive atmosphere.
The emotional weight of tracks such as Another Day in Paradise shows the songwriter engaging with the world around him. It is a grand, lush work that feels both intimate and focused on themes of homelessness and reflection.
