About
Prostitute is Toyah Willcox's 1988 album. It is a concept album and highly experimental in nature, marking a considerable divergence from previous works. It is uncompromising in its style, containing no obviously "radio-friendly" tracks. The album was reissued on Toyah's own record label, Vertical Species, in 2003, together with its follow up album, Ophelia's Shadow. In the extensive sleeve notes she provided for the reissue, Willcox explains the gestation of the album, particularly the scrutiny her recent marriage to Robert Fripp was under in the press, and the feeling that by the release of Desire, she had become, in her own words, "staid and predictable". Track listing: 1. "Hello" (Willcox) 2. "Prostitute" (Willcox/Sidelnyc) 3. "Wife" (Willcox) 4. "The Show" (Willcox) 5. "Dream House" (Willcox/Sidelnyc) 6. "Homecraft" (Willcox) 7.
