I've always loved Graceland and often come back to it. There's a slight uneasiness with the cultural appropriation. Breaking the South African cultural boycott of the time is also not cool. But the album opened up western ears to other possibilities. It's a really happy album that often leaves me dancing.

I avoided this at the time of its release, as it seemed to be everywhere, but actually enjoyed this more than I expected, but another one that I got a bit sidetracked with by about halfway through. It starts off well with Boy In The Bubble, but I couldn’t really tell you what happened by the end. Pleasant enough, but I felt the more personal lyrics didn’t speak to me so much.
