With the release of STRIP, Adam Ant completely shed his former theatrical persona of pirate costumes and Indian warpaint. In its place came a bare chest and a pair of bedroom eyes. The tribal drumming and twang guitar are conspicuously absent as Ant whirls out his pop tales of lust and the joys of the flesh. Aligning himself with the then hugely popular Phil Collins broadened his American audience considerably. Collins produced and played drums on the albums two singles, "Strip" and "Puss 'n' Boots." The latter is Ant's most infectious pop-ready moment, a PG-13 update on the old children's fairy tale. Ant's transformation to sex obsessed pin-up boy garnered him no small amount of ire from US critics, who dismissed the album as a vacuous washout. The undeniable pop hooks and streamlined sound of "Puss 'n' Boots," "Playboy," and "Montreal" are toe tappers that retain their bounce, no matter how devoid they are of any emotional substance. After all, this is a man who rose to fame dressed like he was auditioning for "Treasure Island."
