40 years ago (3 June 1985), Bryan Ferry released his sixth solo studio album, 'Boys and Girls'. The album was Ferry's first solo album in seven years and the first since he had disbanded his band Roxy Music in 1983.
Ferry's first solo effort since the second breakup of Roxy Music is arguably his best, in part because it continues in the direction the band had been going. It's like Avalon, only more so. Here, Ferry's lounge lizard affectations are writ large; the lyrical pose is all bruised romantic fatalism (say hello, "Slave to Love"), and the music fits it like a glove. The album's soundscapes are lush and echo-laden, and nearly every track has a discreet disco pulse; "Valentine," the one exception, is mid-tempo reggae. Overlaid with skittish percussion and guitars, Boys and Girls is the aural equivalent of a white dinner jacket and a half-empty bottle of champagne.
