Released in 1984, ‘Original Sin’ by INXS is more than just a product of its time. It is a piece of music that continues to resonate, capturing a moment of social awakening and a plea for racial harmony. The track, infused with an irresistible rhythm and Michael Hutchence’s seductive vocals, delivers a message that extends far beyond the era it was crafted in.

In 1982, Australian rock band INXS gifted the world with ‘Don’t Change,’ a track that became an anthem of self-assuredness and steadiness in a world often volatile and ever-changing. With its soaring melody and an insistent chorus, the song captures an emotional zeitgeist and remains a beloved tune to this day.

In the pantheon of rock’s most mesmerizing anthems, INXS’s ‘Devil Inside’ stands apart as a sleek, leather-clad enigma. Released as the second single from their 1987 album ‘Kick,’ this track still echoes through the halls of music history with its haunting refrain and driving beat. But beyond the infectious hooks lies a deeper reflection of the human condition—a dance with the darkness that resides in each of us.

INXS’s hit ‘Beautiful Girl’ weaves a haunting story of vulnerability and the human need for companionship against the stark backdrop of the urban night. Though it may disguise itself as yet another love song at first listen, it transcends the genre to dig into more profound themes.

INXS’s pulsating track ‘Suicide Blonde’ isn’t just a stampeding soundtrack of the early ’90s, it’s a cultural signpost that embodies the era’s recklessness, glamour, and hidden despair. With a kinetic harmonica driving the melody and Michael Hutchence’s indelible vocal charisma, the song transcends its own era to speak on the universal themes of self-identity and the destructive power of love.

INXS’s hypnotic anthem ‘Mystify’ cascades through the airwaves with its hauntingly beautiful melody and enigmatic lyrics. Like a siren’s call, it beckons listeners into a world of deep emotion and raw human connection. On the surface, the song is a testament to the bewildering power of romantic attraction. It speaks of the kind of love that consumes and confounds, leaving in its wake a craving for understanding and a longing for the existential essence that lies at the heart of human relationships.

INXS’s ‘New Sensation’ doesn’t simply throb with the vibrant drum and bass lines that helped define the late ’80s pop-rock sound—it pulses with the lifeblood of an era fixated on breaking free from the chains of the past. In its essence, the song becomes an ode to rejuvenation, an auditory slice of the zeitgeist that called for transformation and the thrill of the novel. INXS delivered not just catchy melodies but a compelling narrative of rebirth.
