It is in the midst of Dahomania that the man himself releases this album, which would become one of his biggest successes. After his fruitful period in the 1980s, marked by albums like "La Notte, La Notte" and "Pop Satori", followed by three years of absence, he chooses to leave London for New York to record this record with the help of the young guitarist from Les Valentins, Édith Fambuena. The sound is brilliant, brassy, both powerful and very intimate, as in the hit "Saudade", inspired by his love of Portugal. This is a mature, sensual, and very personal record. The young singer born from new wave here becomes a major artist, whose songs will mark a generation.
