About this album
Passionfruit is a polished jazz-funk set that shows Michael Franks at his most urbane and melodic. Released in 1983, it extends his reputation for elegant, conversational songwriting, where breezy grooves sit alongside sharp lyric detail and a dry sense of humour. The album moves between late-night intimacy and glossy fusion textures, balancing supple rhythm work with Franks’ distinctive understated vocal style. Songs such as “Tell Me All About It” and “When Sly Calls (Don’t Touch That Phone)” underline his knack for making sophisticated pop-jazz feel relaxed and accessible, helping the record stand as a strong example of his early-80s sound.
