In 1989 British band Tears for Fears released their album The Seeds of Love. One of the hits released of that album was Woman in Chains featuring Oleta Adams. While not a huge hit, it did lead to the start of Adam's successful solo career. There had been two albums released prior to Circle of One, but they were not commercially successful.
Circle of One was released in 1990, with it's biggest hit being Get Here which was a Top five hit in both the States and the UK, with the album going to No. 1 in the UK. The album was produced by the members of Tears for Fears, who also co-wrote some of the tracks on the album. Musically it's very much a laid-back, jazzy sound; perfect for background listening. It's not really a Tears for Fears sound. Highlights of the album include Get Here (unsurprisingly!), Circle of One, and I've got to sing my song. So, it's the perfect album to put on in the background and just chill out to. Probably 6.5 / 10 tending towards a 7. Not a fantastic album, but not one I regret buying.
