TOYAH "prostitute" 1988
Spotify listen:
recommended by a friend
her eighth studio album
i am familiar with her singles from the early to mid 1980s but thats about it
have never owned a studio album let alone listened to one
so during a chat he said i should give this one a listen, its his favourite of hers after "the changeling"
this one is more experimental than her usual sounds, Art Rock/Pop might be an apt description
a concept album.
concept is about her and her then recent marriage to Robert Fripp and how the UK media intruded into their lives which made her feel like a prostitute for the violation of her private life, intrusions and overall being treated like a piece of meat by the paparazzi.
so yes, a good album from a first up listen,
i will give it another listen and if i still like it i will put it on the 'to purchase' list as the album gets a reissue later this year
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
