About this album

Foreign Affairs is a polished, sharply written pop-rock album that shows Sharon O'Neill refining the melodic instinct and emotional directness that made her one of New Zealand's most distinctive singer-songwriters. Issued in 1983, it sits within the era when trans-Tasman radio favoured concise, hook-driven rock, and O'Neill answered with songs that balance toughness and vulnerability. Tracks such as Danger and Maxine underline her skill for memorable choruses and plainspoken storytelling, while the album's clean production keeps the focus on her voice and songwriting. It remains a strong example of early-1980s Australasian pop-rock with real personality.
