Cat Stevens: Foreigner

"Foreigner" is Cat Stevens' fifth LP for Island Records and represents the adventurous, risk-taking streak of his character. In a departure from his largely acoustic sound, Cat discovered his love for R&B and soul music on the album, as heard on the album's lead single "The Hurt". Foreigner was recorded largely in Jamaica with an all-star band and is the first album to be produced entirely by Cat himself. It is deep, funky and rich in layers of meaning.
