Comments for Culture Club, Kissing to be Clever

"Kissing To Be Clever" will always be remembered as a staple of the new wave movement. However unique and catchy its songs are, they can''t mask Boy George''s marginal voice. "Colour By Numbers" is a much better example of what George, Jon, Mikey and Roy were trying to accomplish.

The first album from Culture Club, the lp is a mix ofheartwrenching ballads and world beat dance music. Culture Club were actually ahead of their time on this one,foreshadowing, by many years, a trend in sweet pop reggae.
