Jena from Leavenworth, KsAnyone else remember Terrence Trent D'Arby saying (at the height of his fame) that he was going to be "bigger than The Beatles"? Whatever happened to that? Now the poor guy can't even get a comment about his biggest hit on Songfacts!;-) Corcoran, Michael (June 1988). "In the Ring with Terence Trent D'Arby". Spin. Spin Media LLC. 4 (3): 45–46. ISSN 0886-3032. On 15 March 2021, Maitreya released his 12th studio album, Pandora's PlayHouse, which included three collaborations, the song "Reflecting Light", [26] composed with the Australian duo The Avalanches; " Time Is On My Side" with Irene Grandi and the opening song of the project: "Pandora's Plight" with jazz pianist Antonio Faraò. The project has an instrumental song called "Prince", [27] which honors the memory and the friendship of Maitreya and Prince. Look, it is ignorant for anyone to say that TTD comes anywhere near the legacy of The Beatles. But give a fair hearing to his songs like "She Kissed Me", "Frankie & Johnny", "Holding On to You", "We Don't Have That Much Time Together", or "You Will Pay Tomorrow". Most likely, your evaluation of TTD will have changed. Yes, TTD's truly eclectic brand of neo-soul fell by the way side; much to the loss of popular R&B/Soul.Pete from NowraShe Kissed Me, was another good song by Terry or as we say here in Australia, "Tezza".

When D’Arby returned, in 2001, he had a new album, an independently released opus called “Wildcard” that included a soaring opener, “O Divina,” and songs co-written with hit-makers like Glen Ballard and Dallas Austin. But he wasn’t Terence Trent D’Arby anymore. Or, rather, he was and he wasn’t. The album was released under both that name and the name Sananda Maitreya (which he had adopted during his years away from recording, and which he legally took in 2001). “Wildcard” was re-released in 2002, and this time there was no trace of Terence Trent D’Arby: it was a Sananda Maitreya album in full.

"Why Terence Trent D'Arby became Sananda Maitreya: 'It was that or death' ". The Guardian. In terms of chart-topping hits and staying in the public eye, TTD didn't live up to his own hype. His unique voice and style became irrelevant; drowned out in a sea of brilliantly marketed clones who happened to come along at a time when pop music largely degenerated. Since around the time of TTD's brief heyday, Pop/R&B/Soul so-called "artists" have rarely ventured beyond vapid songs about materialism and "bootys". In this sense, poetic musicians whose lyrics are full of wit, depth, and spirituality should be PROUD of not remaining relevant!
