Review

Phil Collins' 'Hello, I Must Be Going!' is a musical journey through the heart of a man grappling with the aftermath of divorce. Released in 1982, this second solo venture from the Genesis frontman showcases his growing confidence as a solo artist. The album's title, borrowed from a Marx Brothers' line, hints at the emotional whirlwind Collins was experiencing at the time.

Collins' ability to blend pop sensibilities with soul and R&B influences shines through on this record. His cover of the Supremes' 'You Can't Hurry Love' became a chart-topper in the UK and a top 10 hit in the US, demonstrating his knack for breathing new life into classic tracks. But it's in the more personal numbers like 'I Don't Care Anymore' and 'Thru These Walls' where Collins truly bares his soul, crafting lyrics that resonate with raw emotion and vulnerability.

The album's success wasn't limited to the charts. Collins embarked on a tour across Europe and North America, backed by a nine-piece band that included his Genesis touring mates and the Phenix Horns. This live setup allowed him to fully realize the album's expanded sound palette. While some critics debated the consistency of the R&B elements, the album's commercial success and subsequent award nominations - including a Brit Award nod for British Male Artist and a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Male - solidified Collins' status as a solo artist to be reckoned with. 'Hello, I Must Be Going!' stands as a pivotal moment in Collins' career, bridging the gap between his debut and the mega-success that was yet to come. - Micah
