D'Arby's 1989 follow-up to his smash debut, INTRODUCING THE HARDLINE, is, if anything, even more dizzyingly eclectic, an almost unclassifiable mix of rock, pop, R&B, and soul, heavily influenced by Motown, Prince, and what may be noises from another galaxy. This confused listeners in its day (who couldn't decide whether it was a sprawling chaotic mess or a carefully crafted illusion of spontaneity), but with hindsight, it's a significant piece of work. Highpoints include "To Know Someone Deeply Is to Know Someone Softly," which suggests Stevie Wonder doing reggae on acid; the Beatles-esque "It Feels So Good to Love Someone Like You," (a mix of "Strawberry Fields" and pedal steel); the explicitly gay love song "Billy Don't Fall"; and the skewed, Solomon Burke-ish gospel tune "I Don't Want to Bring Your Gods Down."
