For those who only know the hit, the album’s deeper grooves offer surprises:

After signing with Columbia Records, he released the self-titled Corey Hart in 1996 and Jade in 1998. These albums were more introspective and acoustic-leaning, featuring the hit "Black Cloud Rain." Shortly after, Hart stepped away from the spotlight to focus on his family and songwriting for other artists, most notably Celine Dion. The Return: Dreaming Time Again

By the late 80s, the musical landscape was changing. Hart adapted by injecting more soul and R&B influences into his fourth studio album. It was a pivot that showed his versatility.

In the 1990s, Hart’s focus began to shift. He released Attitude and Virtue in 1992, which featured a harder-edged rock sound and collaborations with members of Living Colour. Despite positive reviews, the changing musical landscape of the grunge era made it difficult for 80s pop icons to stay at the top of the charts.
