Description
Reissued for the first time since 1987, Bryan Ferry’s ‘Bête Noire’ is a masterclass in moody sophistication, blending art-pop, jazz-tinged balladry and late-’80s electronic textures into a rich, cinematic whole. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the album features collaborations with some of the era’s finest musicians, including guitarist Johnny Marr (The Smiths), whose co-writing credit on the brooding lead single “The Right Stuff” brings an edgier undercurrent to Ferry’s signature style. Other highlights include the sultry “Kiss and Tell” and the hauntingly atmospheric “Limbo,” both of which showcase Ferry’s ability to fuse romance and intrigue with sonic elegance. With production contributions from Patrick Leonard (known for his work with Madonna), ‘Bête Noire’ stands as one of Ferry’s most ambitious and polished solo statements – a collector’s essential and a hidden treasure from one of British pop’s most distinctive voices. Pressed on 180g purple vinyl. Limited Edition.
