Review

Emotional was released in the U.S. the same year as his breakthrough album, Falco 3, which included the hit "Rock Me Amadeus." It is hard not to consider that this album (on Sire, not A&M, the home of his hit record) was rushed to market to capitalize on his one-hit wonder status. Standout tracks include the title track, "Crime Time," "The Kiss of Kathleen Turner," and a follow-up to the banned song "Jeanny" called "Coming Home (Jeanny Part II, One Year Later." "Cowboyz and Indianz'" contains some interesting Star Wars allusions. Not essential by any means, even for somewhat serious fans. However, a surprisingly solid new wave album that is quirky and fun. A great used-record find. ~ JT Griffith, All Music Guide

Information

The album was produced in 1985/1986. It was the second album by Bolland & Bolland. The first single was The Sound of Musik. The song was quite successful, also outside the German speaking countries. The next single was Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2), which reached top of German charts. It was about Jeanny, who had disappeared for one year and still wasn't found.

The album's cover, a still from the promotional video for the title track, is an homage to a similar backdrop used by Elvis Presley in his 1968 "comeback special."
