The Swing

INXS reached a creative turning point with The Swing, their first album to deliver consistent quality throughout. Anchored by Nile Rodgers' production on the standout track "Original Sin," the record masterfully blends the band's new wave and rock foundations with infectious dance grooves. The songwriting demonstrates marked maturity, with the majority of tracks built around compelling, hook-driven melodies that showcase the group's evolving sophistication. This album marks the moment when INXS synthesized their earlier experimental energy into a more refined and commercially assured sound.
