Trust (Brother Beyond album)


Trust is the second album of the British boy band / pop group Brother Beyond, released in 1989, by EMI / Parlophone. It was their last album, since they disbanded. After their two major hits, "The Harder I Try" and "He Ain't No Competition", written for them by famous producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman, the band, as lead singer Nathan Moore puts it on his Official Website, "made the classic mistake of thinking they did not need Stock Aitken and Waterman... We wrote the whole of the next album ourselves and bombed totally". The three singles taken from the Trust album were only minor hits, getting no higher than the UK Top 40. The first, "Drive On", which was also the opening track of Side 2 on the vinyl edition, got to Number 39, in October 1989. The second, "When Will I See You Again?", a soulful ballad by The Three Degrees, stopped at Number 43, in December 1989. The third and last, "Trust", the title-track and opener to the whole album, stalled at Number 53, in March 1990.
EMI America gave the band a push to conquer the USA market, and the American release of the album, which was released in mid-1990, dropped one song, "Universal", and added two new songs, which were released as singles: "The Girl I Used to Know" and "Just A Heartbeat Away" produced by American producers Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers. "The Girl I Used to Know" was released as the lead single off the album in the US and became a top 40 hit in the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 27. It was released as a non-album single in Europe in early 1991, and peaked at No. 48 in the UK.
