Nick Heyward left Haircut 100 for a solo career shortly after the success of Pelican West, so the group decided that percussionist Mark Fox would be an adequate lead vocalist for their second album, Paint and Paint. In many ways they were right, since Fox has a pleasantly thin voice that blends easily into the band's lightly jazzy pop and funk. [In 2017, Paint and Paint was reissued in a digitally remastered and expanded two-CD Deluxe Edition.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
