It's time for us to dive into the FILTH of the music world once more as we search for the worst album ever made, yes, it's Trve. Crvp. Pop! time once again. Steve and Sam have got something genuinely bizarre on their hands today, as we look at the debut album from Hollywood A-lister Bruce Willis, The Return of Bruno, released on the 20th of January 1987.
Willis was a star, but not a megastar, back in 1987, he was on the show Moonlighting, which had given him enough profile for him to get a $5m contract to be the face of Seagram's Golden Wine Coolers*... yeah, pretty weird that eh. Anyway, on the ads Willis danced and sang, pretty badly if we're being honest, but his performances, if legend is to be believed, were good enough for Motown Records to sign him and ask him to make an album full of soul pop and R&B numbers. The album was tied in with an HBO Special that portrayed Willis' alter-ego Bruno Radolini as a great, lost legend of the music world. It was ropey as hell, but Bruce got a number 2 hit in the UK with his cover of Under the Boardwalk. So it was looking goof for his music career. But, 18 months later a film called Die Hard came out, and... well, you know the rest. Is The Retun of Bruno any good? Dan from Skindred's mum likes it! What does it matter what we think!
Trve. Crvp. Pop! is in no way associated with Seagram's Golden Wine Coolers... although we would be open to any sponsorship opportunities.
