It was the last day of our allocated time in the studio, and I was exhausted. I thought, ‘Wow, I’ve finally gotten my first record out of the way, and my co-producer Martyn Ware looked at me and said, ‘I don’t think we have it yet’. I couldn’t believe it. He thought the album was missing one more thing that was completely different to everything else. He suggested I record something a cappella that focuses on my voice. I went into the canteen with a notepad and 15 minutes later, I had this song finished. While performing it, I realised its uniqueness, and I could understand why it needed to be on the record. We had less than a couple of hours to finish it, so I didn’t have time to second-guess myself. The irony is that of all the hits Hardline yielded, this one has been the most re-recorded or remixed. Just a year ago, I worked with the immensely talented Calvin Harris on another version of it.” Official Charts > Terence Trent D'Arby". The Official UK Charts Company . Retrieved 18 February 2016.

As for ballads, the worldwide smash that was “Sign Your Name” is an obvious highlight with its sublime drum patterns and barely contained eroticism. But better is its close cousin “Let’s Go Forward” which sees Maitreya run the full gamut of his soul vocal stylings, from his warm and innocently cherubic mid range, through his peerless falsetto and onto his rumbling growl of desire. It is heavy on atmospherics and lust. From that point on, he could feel himself galvanised by the spirit of the late Beatle. Seven years later, he would proclaim Introducing The Hardline According To … as the greatest pop LP since Sgt Pepper.
