Yusuf / Cat Stevens presents a reissue of his album, Foreigner. Originally released in July 1973 on Island Records, Foreigner was the first album written and produced solely by the legendary artist. The record features the single “The Hurt” along with “100 I Dream” and the 18-minute long “Foreigner Suite.”
Foreigner marked a shift in sound for Yusuf / Cat Stevens, who by 1973 had established himself as a largely acoustic folk artist on classic albums including 1970’s Mona Bone Jakon and Tea for the Tillerman, 1971’s Teaser and the Firecat, and 1972’s Catch Bull at Four. Foreigner was largely recorded in Jamaica and brought a new group of musicians into the fold as Yusuf / Cat Stevens explored his love of R&B and soul music. The feeling of being an outsider in these genres as well as in his new home of Rio de Janeiro inspired the album’s title.
“We’re all foreigners. Say to an American or a European, that he’s a foreigner and he’ll say, ‘No, you’re the foreigner!’ But we’re all foreigners here, in a wider sense. We’re all looking for freedom and accommodation within humanity.”
- Yusuf / Cat Stevens
