Introducing The Hardline According To T.T. D'Arby
Terence Trent D'Arby
Released:
Jan 1987
Label:
Columbia
It's easy to lob bombs at Terence Trent D'Arby. His pompous androgynous android funk clearly tears a page from Prince's playbook, he claimed that his debut was the best album since Sgt. Pepper's and his subsequent releases were underwhelming studies in studious pretentiousness. But for a few months in 1987 -- following the overwhelming one-two punch of "Sign Your Name" and "Wishing Well" -- D'Arby was the hottest name in R&B, and deservedly so. The spidery drum machine soul of "Wishing Well" remains addictive, and "Sign Your Name" sounds like Polynesian Goth played by runny-nosed romantics.
