Nona Hendryx - SkinDiver (1989)
An alluring, lush album of artfully crafted, R&B-flavored, downtempo pop. From what I understand, SkinDiver is a relatively experimental outlier in Hendryx's otherwise radio-friendly discography, and the only other one I've heard, Female Trouble, is certainly enjoyable, but also seems to confirm this. SO explore her other records at your own risk.
Track listing:
1. Off the Coast of Love
2. Women Who Fly
3. No Emotion
4. Love Is Kind
5. Tears
6. Skin Diver
7. 6th Sense
8. Through the Wire
9. Interior Voices
10. New Desire
There's a man, unaware
He calls it happiness

Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that this is Nona's most experimental album may be attributed to the presence of Peter Baumann (ex-Tangerine Dream) as co-producer & label (Private Music) boss. Thanks for all the great music on your blog. AND your huge love for it. It shows.
