Songs

The album pays tribute to the wit and style of Cole Porter (and indirectly to New York). The track "Real Men" pointed obliquely to the city's early 1980s gay culture.

"Steppin' Out" earned Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male. It reached #6 on both the UK and the US charts. "Breaking Us in Two" reached #18 in the US and #59 in the UK. and was covered by Mandy Moore on her 2003 album Coverage.
