Sananda Maitreya is celebrating the 35th anniversary of his landmark debut album Introducing the Hardline According To… with a digitally remastered and spatial audio edition, overseen by original producer Martyn Ware.
Originally released in 1987 and featuring the hits ‘Wishing Wel’l and ‘If You Let Me Stay’, Introducing… by the artist formerly known as Terence Trent D’Arby debuted at No.1 in the UK and returned to the top spot several months later for a seven week run. Certified 5x Platinum, only four records spent more time at No.1 in the entire decade. It was similarly successful in the States, where it reached No.4 and double-Platinum status, while the single ‘Wishing Well’ was a chart-topper.
Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent d’Arby is a strong debut by this young singer, who wrote virtually every note, played a multitude of instruments, and claimed that this was the most important album since the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper. Hits included “If You Let Me Stay,” “Dance Little Sister,” “Sign Your Name,” and the number one “Wishing Well.” His first album is a curious mixture of old and new styles. Although the production is quite modern, d’Arby shows his roots in the work of older artists, borrowing a page or two from Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, while James Brown appears to have had the strongest influence on d’Arby’s stage presence. – Rob Bowman
