BRICK BY BRICK began a long association with Virgin Records for Iggy Pop, and as one of Iggy's biggest commercial successes, it kicked off the relationship auspiciously, going Gold and spawning the pop hit "Candy." A marked contrast to the murky punk/metal monochrome of its predecessor, INSTINCT, BRICK BY BRICK, was richly produced by Don Was, who brought in a wide array of session players and guest stars to frame Iggy for maximum accessibility. While the duet with B-52's singer Kate Pierson on the melodic torch tune "Candy" is a highlight, and many of the tunes are softer than the Igster's usual fare, there are plenty of hard-rocking moments here too, like the churning "Neon Forest" and metal-tinged "My Baby Wants to Rock & Roll."
