Full review
Following Jumpin’ Jive, Joe Jackson spent a year in New York, immersing himself in the wide variety of its nightlife and listening to their array of ethnic music that can be found only in that city. The result was Jackson’s most successful album, Night And Day, released in June 1982. The album was divided into two parts: the Day side was filled with slow, lush ballads, reflecting a new, introspective romanticism. The Night side, meanwhile, was mad eup of dance music - salsa, r&b, rock, the kind of music to be heard daily on the streets of New York.
Night And Day was an enormous success, particularly in the US, and afforded another hit single in Steppin’ Out, which reached number 6 in both the US and UK charts. The album reflected a new maturity; Joe had obviously taken all the myriad styles of music that appealed to him and, instead of aping them as he had in his transitional period, synthesised them into something distinctive an dpersonal.
Other tracks on the album included Cancer, Real Men, Chinatown, Another World and Target.
