Laughter & Lust


Laughter & Lust is a 1991 album by Joe Jackson. He left A&M Records in 1990, which soon released Steppin' Out: The Very Best of Joe Jackson, which became a Top Ten hit in the UK. Jackson subsequently signed a recording contract with Virgin Records.
Music journalist Martin C. Strong states "Laughter & Lust was Jackson's most direct, accessible material in years, a welcome diversion from his constant experimentation".
Laughter & Lust would be Jackson's last non-classical studio album until 2000's Night and Day II. Jackson recalled, "After the Laughter and Lust world tour, it all turned to shit, basically. I had real bad writer's block. I couldn't even listen to music. I just lost it, totally. It was awful."
