Our Take

INXS's 'The Swing' is a sonic rollercoaster that takes listeners on a wild ride through the world of 80s pop-rock. It's like a musical equivalent of an aerobics class led by a cool, mullet-sporting instructor.

The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "Original Sin," setting the tone for what's to come - catchy melodies, funky basslines, and plenty of synth-driven goodness. "Dancing on the Jetty" brings a sense of urgency with its driving rhythm and urgent vocals, while "Burn for You" slows things down with its soulful lyrics and smooth saxophone solos.

INXS showcases their versatility on tracks like "To Look at You," where frontman Michael Hutchence's vocals soar over a haunting, atmospheric backdrop. "Out of the Blue" is a perfect blend of new wave and rock, with a killer guitar solo that will have you air-guitaring in no time.

But it's the title track, "The Swing," that truly steals the show. It's a funky, danceable anthem that captures the band at their absolute peak. From the pulsating rhythm section to Hutchence's soulful howls, this track has it all.

Overall, 'The Swing' is a masterclass in 80s pop-rock that still sounds fresh and exciting today. INXS proves once again why they were one of the biggest bands of their era, delivering a collection of songs that will have you grooving and singing along from start to finish. Get ready to swing!

About the artist

INXS

INXS Profile: If you grew up in the 80s, chances are you've spun an INXS record or two (or fifty) on your turntable. This Australian band burst onto the music scene in the early 80s with their unique blend of rock, new wave, and funk, quickly becoming one of the biggest bands in the world. Led by the charismatic frontman Michael Hutchence, INXS had a string of hits that still sound fresh and exciting today. But INXS was more than just their catchy tunes and Hutchence's smouldering good looks. They were pioneers of their time, blending genres and pushing the boundaries of what was considered mainstream music. Their live shows were legendary, with Hutchence prowling the stage like a man possessed, captivating audiences with his magnetic stage presence. Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and INXS' reign at the top was cut short by tragedy with the untimely death of Hutchence in 1997. But their music lives on, a testament to their talent and influence on the music world. So next time you're feeling nostalgic for the 80s, pop on an INXS album and let their infectious melodies and rockstar swagger take you back to a time when music was bold, bright, and unapologetically fun. INXS may be gone, but their music will always be here to remind us of their incredible legacy.
