INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence began work on what would become his posthumous solo album in 1995. Following his death in 1997 (a possible suicide), Black Grape producer Danny Saber and ex-Gang of Four guitarist Andy Gill completed the album. U2 singer, and Hutchence's friend, Bono recorded lyrics which were added to the track "Slide Away." The album was finally released in 1999 and was largely overlooked due to lack of promotion by the label V2.
Michael also recorded the songs, "Let The People Talk" and "Standing On The Rooftop" for this album but it didn't make the album.They acted as b-sides for the singles "Straight Line" and "Slide Away".
This album was simply dedicated to "Tiger". This is in reference to his daughter, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence.
