Vibrator

Terence Treat D'Arby, this multi-platinum and Grammy Award winning singer, composer and song writer has been largely out of the public eye.

But as I've mentioned before, a great artiste is always worth talking about once more.

Once a big recording artiste with Columbia records with albums like his debut solo album, 'Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby', released in 1987, is his best-known and, in commercial terms, most successful work. Itself having sold over 12 million copies to date, he's now under his own independent label (which means less budget for publicity and production) and a devout Buddhist (despite his Gay status).

He's now known by the name (on his ID officially at least) , Sananda Maitreya .

But other than his wildly successful debut album back in 1987, his other much talked about album is this : 'TTD's Vibrator' ( 1995. Sony Music).

On the cover , he's with Angel wings, cropped platinum hair, tight abs and all. Everything that screams 'Gay Pride'. And laudable at that. Nice.

Check out the track listing and there are great tracks of pop-rock matched to his charismatic vocals; songs like the lead track 'Vibrator', 'Supermodel (Sandwich)/ with Cheese', 'Read my Lips (I Dig your Scene)' and 'We Don't Have Much time Together'.


Just wanting to sample-quote a line from his song 'Supermodel' :

" Dress up to your thigh, you wear it very high
You walk by in a pig's eye
I'm a guy so I sigh
But you ain't shy
Besta besta best of all, you're Bi Bi Bi. "

All speak of a musician-singer who is very secure of himself.


Q....The ennigma of a True Talent.
