Hello, I Must Be Going!
Phil Collins
Frustration and loss drive these songs, functioning as a direct reaction to the end of the artist's first marriage. Tunes like I Don't Care Anymore display a biting, forceful energy that sits in opposition to the clean pop structures present elsewhere.
Brass sections and tight drums featuring gated reverb define the production style of the early eighties. This work highlights a turning point where the move from prog-rock beginnings toward worldwide pop success fully takes hold.
