TEARS FOR FEARS – The Seeds Of Love [Super Deluxe 4xCD Box Set Remastered] (2020)
I don’t know you, but TEARS FOR FEARS 1989 album ”The Seeds Of Love” is a very good one in my book, and now is getting a Super Deluxe 4xCD Box Set Remastered reissue that really worth to check out. This is a true ‘Super Deluxe’, with a lot a new things to discover.
To transform from a bedsit synth-pop outfit with a thing for prim diction to a global phenomenon projecting miserabilist pensées at arena scale must have ground TEARS FOR FEARS into a fine powder. Relaxing in a Kansas City hotel bar while promoting 1985’s quintuple-platinum Songs from the Big Chair, singer-guitarist-songwriter Roland Orzabal and singer-bassist Curt Smith were entranced by Oleta Adams, the Seattle-born R&B singer at the piano. Something went off in Orzabal’s mind.
A couple years later, deep into recording their third album, he contacted Adams with a request: would she join their sessions?
And with her, TEARS FOR FEARS recorded the best song from their career; ‘Woman In Chains’.
