Foreigner is the seventh studio album by singer and songwriter Cat Stevens .
history
The seventh album by Cat Stevens was released in July 1973. For tax and artistic reasons, Stevens often stayed outside of Great Britain, in August 1974 he even officially left his home country. The recordings for the album took place in Jamaica .
Musically, Cat Stevens introduced significant changes; so he temporarily separated from his musical companion Alun Davies and from his producer Paul Samwell-Smith and took over the production of the recordings himself. Furthermore, the sound was changed, like on the previous album Catch Bull at Four , this time in the direction of soul . The first page of the long-playing record at that time consisted only of the 18-minute title Foreigner Suite , which consists of individual fragments and also contains parts of the 2006 single Heaven / Where True Love Goes . The Hurt was released as a single .
Foreigner reached number three in the British and American charts, and number 18 in the Federal Republic of Germany.
The album was re-released in 2000 in a version remastered by Ted Jensen.
