Why This CD Matters
King followed Belly’s breakthrough debut Star with a more muscular, electric sound that keeps the focus on melodic guitar pop. Produced by Glyn Johns, the album features Gail Greenwood on bass and sharp hooks on “Seal My Fate,” “Red,” and “Now They’ll Sleep.” Its 11 songs move between pop immediacy and darker edges, showcasing Tanya Donelly’s songwriting in a full-band setting.
