Animal Magic is the second album from the British band The Blow Monkeys, released in 1986 by RCA/Ariola. It gave the group their commercial breakthrough after their debut album, Limping for a Generation, had won critical acclaim but had only sold modestly. Sales of Animal Magic were boosted by the hit single "Digging Your Scene", which charted in the UK, the rest of Europe and the US. The album's first single, the ballad "Forbidden Fruit", had been released almost a year before the LP. After "Digging Your Scene", two more singles were taken from the album, both of which, though catchy and cleverly built, didn't replicate the same level of commercial success: "Wicked Ways" reached No.60 in Great Britain, and "Don't Be Scared of Me" charted at No.77 in UK. Animal Magic displayed an intelligent collection of slick, soul-influenced, mid-tempo tunes. A couple of ballads offered some diversity: one of them, "I Backed a Winner", is a heartfelt track, mostly a cappella, with lead singer Dr. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_...) under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)
