About this album

True Colours is Split Enz’s breakthrough pop-rock statement, the album that turned the New Zealand band into international contenders. Released in 1980, it sharpened their artful new wave eccentricity into compact, radio-ready songwriting without losing the oddball imagination that defined them. Anchored by the massive hit I Got You, the record also delivers the nervy energy of Double Happy and the plaintive I Hope I Never, showing the group’s gift for marrying inventive arrangements to immediate hooks. Its success helped establish Split Enz as one of the most distinctive bands to emerge from the Antipodes, and a major influence on later Australasian pop and rock.

Genre: Pop & Rock
