Famous, Rich and Beautiful

Third album for Columbia & overall from poppy '90s Canadian alternative rock act. Slickly produced, many of the 14 cuts conjure up World Party doing a collaboration album with a mellowed out Red Hot Chili Peppers in the '70s while vocalist Gerald Eaton was imitating the singing mannerisms (but the voice) of U2's Bono. Some of the tunes have a slightly sassy horn section in the background more like Chicago (the band) in the '70s than Stevie Wonder's at that time. 1997 release.
