What Happened To Terence Trent D'Arby? | His Spiritual Journey & Why He Changed His Name

Ойын-сауық

One could assume that being compared to superstars such as Michael Jackson and Prince is a good thing. However, Terence Trent D’Arby never let the opinions of others dictate the approach to his art throughout his career. He’s even said in interviews that he strongly believes the comparisons were more rooted in him having a similar skin tone as his predecessors than anything else. What he does believe that he has in common with the aforementioned icons is that his goal is to come from as as many different directions as possible to stretch the boundaries of what is considered to be "black music."

Jimmy Hendrix, Mama Cash Elliot, Tina Turner and him, born in the US, with incredible talent. No worry Mate, we have some left in the US! ???? Yeah we have Arianna Grande, Beyoncé, and a lots of big ass “ so called “ hip hop, rap, and all kind of gangsta “ artists “ we had real artists like Michael, John Lennon, “ English “ and many more we killed successfully!

    I disagree. It was generic 80s - Bowie's Lets' Dance phase, Power Station, Prince, Hendrix clone Jon Butcher on and on. T had his 10 minutes and that's all he deserved. If he thought a little more or was smarter.. He could've been Jackie Wilson Wilson Pickett rolled into one - not just the imitation - he wouldn't have had to change his name. After all as Popeye said "I Yam What I Yam" but yes, I hope bottom line the dude is happy because when he was young for that 10 minutes in the 80s he had mad skills, he was a bad man. 🎶

    Sadly, Terence Trent D'Arby was a modern example of how fans and the music industry can make you and break you at the same time. His ego and his attitude cost him his career. When you give people in the industry your behind to kiss, word spreads like wildfire and next thing you know, you are black balled and no one wants to touch you. It's too bad,. Terence is a very talented artist despite being compared to Michael Jackson and Prince. He had a unique sound of his own.

    This is one career trajectory that baffles me ad infinitum. This dude had the GOODS. I was a huge fan from 'Hardline.' Everything he needed to be a superstar was in place. Terrence is a solid talent. He could compete with the best of them. It is sinfully outrageous how he has been ignored. Almost borderline perverse. I don't understand the brick wall. But I strongly believe, had he just focused on finding that crack in the obstruction which detained him, he'd discover a breakthrough and achieved a second resurgence. So many of his albums are nothing short of masterpieces. And they've aged impeccably well. Terrence, I have love for you, brother. Always.

    I am pretty sure he doesnt care! His life is as he wants it. makes terrific music, wife and family, he could tour outside his country bu chooses not to. He has had his resurgance and his true fans know it. He just does not have that worldwide fame but does he want it?

    ONE of the reasons why you don't hear anything (or much) from D'Arby on air nowadays is at the peak of his career, he pissed off so many radio program directors that they flatly refused to play his music. Between his ego, his arrogance and simply not showing up for interviews and sponsored appearances, a LOT of people in the industry decided he wasn't worth the effort. Even sleeping with the daughter of Sony UK's A&R director wasn't enough to save his deal. It's a pity. He could've SHOULD'VE been a superstar but his attitude and mouth killed his career. He just overplayed the "superstar" role before he earned the title.

    The industry built up enormous hype for Terence's American launch, comparing him to Prince and Michael Jackson, who were at their peaks at the time. He also had a large ego. He came off as being needlessly arrogant, seeing as how he had not achieved success in the states yet. All of this backfired as there was no way for anyone to live up to this hype. The record company misplayed his hand by not allowing his career to build on its own.

    I tried to give Terrence Trent Darby a chance, but I only like two songs from him. Wishing Well and Jamaican Blue. I think he definitely overestimated his talents. In his interviews, he would speak in a pseudo British accent and be on some new age mumbo jumbo stuff. So I definitely think he warded off some fans. Then his name change to Sananda Maitreya a little bit after Prince became the Symbol, seemed like he was biting. I had one female black friend who liked his music but didn't in his music videos that his love interests where solely white women. Terrence/Sananda had success with his 1st album despite him in certain interviews slagging or criticizing certain artists. So I believe he couldn't artistically deliver. Not that he was being boxed in.

    Sadly, his Italian -based music is unfocused and poorly produced. I suspect being on certain medicines (coping with the tough road away from major record labels / MJ allegedly blocking his career on their joint record company) has contributed to this... Wildcard was his last great album.

    Don't sleep on Symphony or Damn, the whole album is killing. Let Her Down Easy and Seasons are beautiful slow jams. Do You Love Me Like You Say You Do and Baby Let Me Share My Love are upbeat nasty funk, and Castillian Blue is moody, heavy, soulful rock. She Kissed Me is the pop hit. Might be his best album from beginning to end.
