1984 was the year INXS leapt from promising brash prodigies to international recording players.
The Swing undertook the genius production values of Nile Rodgers and Nick Launay and saw the band stretch their sound with the addition of funk, orchestral flourishes and salsa rhythms that had fans heading straight to the dancefloor.
With no song sounding similar to another, the band’s musical leap was full of daring, unique creativity and unabashed charm.
With many contributions from all of the band members, INXS had never been this exciting and stole the hearts and minds of the Australian record-buying public with 4 strong singles: Original Sin, I send a message, Burn for you and Dancing on the Jetty plus the addition of many great album tracks that pervaded the Australasian sound waves over 1984-85.
So check this fantastic deep dive into all things related to The Swing and reminisce and bask in what was INXS’ classic magnus opus.
