Label: V2

Michael Hutchence shows a surprising variation of mood on this self-titled, posthumous solo album, produced by Danny Saber (Black Grape) and Andy Gill (Gang Of Four). He sings in his own inimitable style, strong yet passionate, moving fluidly between some surprisingly funky upbeat numbers to more predictable, occasionally haunting ballads. First track up is ''Let Me Show You'', a forceful rock number with a big guitar sound. Hutchence follows this with ''Possibilities'' a downbeat tune tinged with cool. This sets the scene for an album that never loses pace. Last track on the album is ''Slideaway'' a duet with U2''s Bono. Hutchence began writing the song just before his death but sadly didn''t finish it so Bono and Gill co-wrote an extra section. Slated to be the next single, ''Slideaway'' is a husky slice of emotion-ridden outpourings, a perfect finish to the album.
