In addition to the minor hit \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eThe Hurt\u003c\/span\u003e, which received a moderate amount of airplay, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eForeigner\u003c\/span\u003e also included such songs as \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003e100 I Dream\u003c\/span\u003e and the 18-minute-long \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eForeigner Suite\u003c\/span\u003e, which took up the entirety of side one. Stevens came to realize that the music that he had always loved originated not as rock and roll, but what he had been introduced to as \"black music\". Lead Belly instantly came to mind, who had been one of his favorites. In his mind, he'd learned about \"black music\" almost through the back door, while also being moved toward both musicals and acoustic folk music. In deciding to drop all the musical influences in his band, he hoped to foster those early soulful sounds himself. In an interview with \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eCircus Magazine\u003c\/span\u003e, Stevens said: \"If black music was happening, I decided to just get down to it. And because I was a stranger in the world of black sounds, I called the album \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eForeigner\u003c\/span\u003e.\" Stevens additionally named the album \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eForeigner\u003c\/span\u003e, because he took up residency in Brazil as a tax exile. He recorded \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eForeigner\u003c\/span\u003e in Jamaica.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793750389017,"sku":"SP-4391","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-cat_stevens-foreigner-07.jpg?v=1783554435","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/sp-4391","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
