For a change I was listening again to Roger Hodgson’s album Hai Hai and I was wondering if it is a coincidence that the song London ist so similar in style and subject to Sting’s English Man in New York. Both songs came out in the same year. But it wouldn’t make me wonder if Sting was inspired by this.
By the way, no idea why both, Supertramp and Roger, went for such a terrible synthetic sound for their second album after the split. Both albums, Free As A Bird and Hai Hai, contain good songs. But I can hardly stand that high pitched synthetic 80s pop sound.
