Worldwide by Everything But collection the Girl NEUF

Performer Notes:

• Everything But The Girl: Tracey Thorn (vocals), Ben Watt.
• Recorded at Livingston Studios, London, England.
• Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn returned to the direct record-making style of their first two albums on Worldwide. Here, the music was carried largely by Watts bank of keyboards. But the duos lyrical concerns reflected their recent frenetic lifestyle. Sooner or later, every group that lasts makes a road album, and this was the one for Everything But the Girl, its songs nostalgically reminiscing about childhood back in England, along with reflections on the big-time touring life in America. Happily, there was still room for a few of Everything But the Girls complicated adult love songs, notably Thorns "Understanding," though even that one talked about how love "depends on geography." The breezy subject matter contrasted with the more contemplative music. ~ William Ruhlmann
