Between 1980 and 1984, INXS released four studio albums and had toured their native country Australia extensively. WithKick, producer Chris Thomas fused the funk and soul of their previous albumThe Swingwith the mainstream rock ofListen Like Thieves. In an interview withMusicRadar, Andrew Farriss stated, “The melding of funk and rock was always in our heads. We were very excited about the idea of overlaying two types of songs and genres together.”
Kickshowcased a diverse range of musical styles, blending rock, pop, funk, and dance elements. This versatility appealed to a wide audience, making the album accessible to fans of different genres. It’s four catchy singles became radio staples and were accompanied by stylish music videos, helping propel INXS to international stardom.
