Title: Art Garfunkel – Breakaway (1975) [Reissue 2018]
Genre: Rock
Format: MCH SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Breakaway, Art Garfunkel’s second solo studio album, released in 1975 on Columbia Records and produced by Richard Perry, is his most successful, earning RIAA platinum certification despite peaking at #9 in the US, lower than his debut Angel Clare (#5). Featuring three Top 40 singles—“I Only Have Eyes for You” (US #18, UK #1), “Break Away” (US #39), and the Simon & Garfunkel reunion duet “My Little Town” (#9)—the album swaps the angelic style of Garfunkel’s first record for Perry’s lush pop production, recorded in studios rather than cathedrals. Standout tracks include Bruce Johnston’s “Disney Girls,” Stevie Wonder’s “I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever),” and Hal David and Albert Hammond’s “99 Miles from L.A.,” showcasing wise song choices that overcome the uniformity of Garfunkel’s vocal style with vibrant, polished arrangements.
