Mutual Attraction was Sylvester’s final studio album before his untimely passing. It features a particularly campy cover, designed to the hilt in a pastiche of ’30s style, reminiscent of the visual direction of Grace Jones albums. The music has a more aggressive sound than audiences would come to expect from the Disco mastermind, reflecting the sonic trends of 1986. The album has a quintessentially ’80s feeling, with synths bouncing off Sylvester’s passionate vocals on high-octane scorchers like “Talk to Me” and the witty under-tempo cut “Mutual Attraction,” while “Living for the City” finds him taking Stevie Wonder’s brilliant tune and making it his own.
