Born Again

Randy Newman

A sharp, idiosyncratic collection of character studies. Newman trades his usual orchestral warmth for a colder, more cynical pop-rock sheen.

August 1979 · Warner Records

Find on Amazon

A sharp, high-gloss collection of cynical character studies that feels both playful and deeply alienated.

Moments Worth Listening For
The meta-commentary of an ELO fan getting every detail wrong in a lush pop arrangement
The jarring transition from a jaunty piano melody to lyrics about a man being chased by a sheep
The surprisingly tender and haunting atmosphere of the track 'Ghosts' amidst the surrounding satire
