Indecent Obsession. Yeaahh, one of the boy band that ever existed in the music scene. They are from Australia. Established in 1987, in Brisbane.
The first group consists of, David Dixon (vocals), Andre Coyne (guitar), Michael Szumowski (keyboards), and Daryl Sims (drums).
Discovered by musician, journalist, and a renowned producer of Australia, Molly Meldrum, IO, so Indecent Obsession commonly called, they surprised the Australian public, through their debut album, "Spoken Words", in 1989, under the record label Melodian, which also produced by one of their members, Michael Szumowski.
Their single, "Say Goodbye", perched rated first Australian Hot 10, in August, 1989. Feel less enough just to take part in the country, they put out an album titled the same as the name of the band, "Indecent Obsession", which is the American version, from their debut album.
But their plans to expand to the US, to no avail, because the Americans were feverish boy bands of their own country, New Kids on the Block.
At the end of the 1980s, until the early 1990s, who is not familiar with the name NKOTB?, Which is the most successful boy band in history. Automatic, IO step, to enter the market in the United States, is a step in vain.
successfully penetrate the markets of other countries in get by IO, when the release of their third album, "Indio" in 1992.
Not America, but South Africa, which is capable they conquered with this album. Besides South Africa, the Asian markets, including Indonesia, have started their entering.
Three singles mainstay of this album, "Indio", "gentelman Style", and "Rebel With a Cause", successfully pushed on the stairs of the song in their own country, South Africa, and Japan.
The success achieved on the third album, could not resist this group of divisions. The vocalist, David Dixon, came out in 1993, because of concerns over his career as an actor. after David out, then followed by Andre Coyne, who prefer to pursue a solo career as a guitarist. Andre, had become the world's touring guitarist for singer Tommy Page, in 1990/91.
Michael Szumowski, and Daryl Sims, the two remaining members of the IO, then decided to pass on this group, to recruit new members.
As a results, Richard Hennassey (vocals), Mark Gray (bass), and Graham Kearns (guitar), complete the formation of IO, the second stage.
The first album with this lineup, "Relativity", successfully released in 1994. They involve a Japanese singer, Mari Hamada, on one of their most successful song in the market, "Fixing a Broken Heart".
Besides their flagship single, "Lady Rain", was also a great success in the charts in Japan, and Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. But this album did not achieve success in South Africa, as their previous albums.
Their last album issued a collection of the best songs they ever issued since the first album until the last album. Titled "The Most Indecent Obsession", the last album they put out in 1995, only to be marketed in Australia, Japan, South Africa, and Asia.
That glimpse of a short trip a boy band, which comes from the land of kangaroos. Although they could not penetrate the American market, which is a barometer of world music competition, their tracks are still tasted very sweet, in Japan, South Africa, and of course Indonesia.
Fixing a broken heart
There was nothing to say the day she left
I just filled a suitcase full of regrets
I hailed a taxi in the rain
Looking for some place to ease the pain
Ohh..
Pre-Chorus:
Then like an answered prayer
I turned around and found you there
Chorus:
You really know where to start (You really know where to start)
Fixing a broken heart (Fixing a broken heart)
You really know what to do
Your emotional tools
Can cure any fool
Whose dreams have fallen apart?
Fixing a broken heart
I never could understand
What you're going through
Must be a plan that led me to you
Cause all the hurt just disappears
Every moment you are near
Pre-Chorus:
Just like an answered prayer
You make the loneliness easy to bear
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Soon the rain will stop falling, baby
So let's forget the past
Cause here we are at last
You really know where to start (You really know where to start)
Fixing a broken heart (Fixing a broken heart)
You really know what to do
Your emotional tools
Can cure any fool
Whose dreams have fallen apart?
Fixing a broken heart
Fixing a broken heart...
