ADAM ANT - 1982 - 2013 (THE COMPLETE 6 ALBUM COLLECTION)
"FRIEND OR FOE" 1982 FRIEND OR FOE - Adam's first solo album kicks off with this title track carrying on with a more polished sound than "Prince Charming". More mature with the orchestration sounds and brass but still with the big percussion. This track reached number 9 in the singles chart as the second single. Its jaunty uptempo beat combined with the usual vocal improvisations of wah wah's and the like merged to make a catchy tune. SOMETHING GIRLS - One of my favourite Ant tracks, its innuendo laden, mid tempo and full of whoops and whistles and yet a kind of ballad. It has a really dirty but sexy sounding backing. Adam sings his best crooner style. The catchy sing along chorus makes this a hit for me. PLACE IN THE COUNTRY - Big, brash and Jazz/Pop fusion, always loved this track. You can't help but sing along, its fast paced and you need to take a quick breath! Love it, really good song. DESPERATE BUT NOT SERIOUS - Another ballad, Ant
