CARS with INXS - Suicide Blonde
"Suicide Blonde" is a song by Australian rock band #INXS. It was released in 1990 as the lead single from their seventh studio album, X. The song was written by INXS members Michael Hutchence and Andrew Farriss, after the band had gotten back together after a year-long sabbatical in 1989. The title originates from the night Hutchence and then-girlfriend Kylie Minogue attended the debut of the 1989 romantic drama film The Delinquents, which stars Minogue. For the premiere, she wore a blonde wig whose color she called "suicide blonde".
The song is a mid-tempo rock song with a danceable beat. It features a driving guitar riff, a pounding drumbeat, and Hutchence's soulful vocals. The lyrics are about a woman who is both alluring and dangerous. She is described as being "blonde like suicide" and "a walking time bomb". The song is a celebration of female power and sexuality, but it also warns of the dangers of getting too close.
"Suicide Blonde" was a commercial success, reaching number two in Australia, number nine in the United States, and number 11 in the United Kingdom. It was also a critical success, with many critics praising Hutchence's vocals and the song's catchy melody. The song was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1991.
The song's music video was directed by Richard Lowenstein and features Hutchence as a boxer who falls in love with a woman (played by Helena Christensen). The video was a critical and commercial success, and it helped to popularize the song.
"Suicide Blonde" is one of INXS's most popular songs and it remains a classic of Australian rock music. It is a powerful and sexy song that is both catchy and dangerous. The song's lyrics are a celebration of female power and sexuality, but they also warn of the dangers of getting too close. "Suicide Blonde" is a classic example of INXS's ability to blend rock, pop, and dance music into a unique and unforgettable sound.
