The album blends rock, soul, and ballads, featuring Stewart’s raspy vocals over lush arrangements — including his breakthrough UK No. 1 cover of “Sailing” (a massive hit that year) — and became his fourth consecutive UK No. 1 album.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe front cover is a stunning, futuristic airbrush illustration by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeter Lloyd\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (signed in some editions), depicting a glamorous, athletic Rod Stewart in a shimmering silver bodysuit, mid-stride across a starry, cosmic ocean-like surface toward towering, glowing skyscrapers (evoking New York or a sci-fi metropolis).
