Home Again
“The one-time Orange Juice frontman returns from two brain hemorrhages and a bout with a superbug to complete his sixth and most affecting solo record yet.”
Badbea
“In 1980 Orange Juice released ‘Blue Boy’ – a frenetic tribute to Buzzcocks’ Pete Shelley that carried all the wonky enthusiasm of getting properly drunk for the first time.

Losing Sleep
“Five years ago, brain hemorrhages left the former Orange Juice singer unable to read, write, walk, or talk; here he makes a courageous return to form.”

“2010's Losing Sleep was the former Orange Juice frontman's first release since suffering cerebral hemorrhages in 2005. Understated's predominant lyrical theme is one of triumphant return, and the album feels like a crucial step towards Collins rediscovering his muse.”
