About this album
Little Criminals is one of Randy Newman’s sharpest and most commercially successful albums, turning his dry wit and character study songwriting into a broader pop breakthrough. Released in 1977, it brought his satire into the mainstream through ‘Short People’, a hit that provoked debate while showcasing his gift for twisting catchy melodies into pointed social commentary. Across the album, Newman balances humour, unease and pathos with the piano-led, vocally intimate style that made him such an idiosyncratic American songwriter. It remains a key statement in his catalogue and a landmark example of intelligent pop with real bite.
