That said, this album is, as usual, wonderful. The songs are not really designed to stand out on their own, save for "Art Of Love," that song got lots of airplay and it´s upbeat arrangement with optimistic lyric differs from the rest of this album, it also lacks the tropical overtones in the arrangement. The real story begins with "Woman In The Waves" and goes from there taking us to Michael´s state of mind, the tropics and relationships with a little conflict but a lot of love. It almost seem Michael´s perfect woman is a tropic paradise, and he wants to prove it to us that he´s right. "Woman In The Waves" contains the lyric in the refrain "she understands how the blue water behaves, mother of pearl is the woman in the waves." The rest of the album does not stray from this feeling, "Speak To Me" is a slight departure because of it´s tempo. "Vincent´s Ear" is a song from Michael´s play "Noa Noa," which was in almost draft form by this albums release, the play is now finished and the characters have been cast. The song has a cool jazz feel. "Chez Nous" had to grow on me a bit, Michael sounds almost strained to sing this one, the lyric I thought was a bit weaker than the rest of the songs. The title track is an almost summary of the entire body of work, the last track is a beautiful, airy song, a great way to close the album. Unlike most of Michael´s albums, the songs here do not make sense out of context but when listened to as a whole, the story is wonderful fantasy.
