A solo album by John Waite that retains the backbone of British rock while incorporating 80s sophistication.
After the success of The Babys and Bad English, this album was produced as a return to his roots, and stands out for its sophistication, taking a step back from the desire for flashy hits.
A departure from the synth-driven AOR/hard pop of the time, Waite's album focused on guitar-driven rock and introspective, straightforward songwriting. Waite's distinctive husky, emotional vocals sing of love, loneliness, and starting over from a mature perspective, and as the title "Return" suggests, it exudes the state of mind he's reached after a long journey.
