One listen to his debut solo electro-techno-disco concoction Getting on My Mind, and there’s no question Haig’s made the right move. He’s definitely a true madman on the synths: Check out his orchestral-electro work on “A Giant Tortoise.” But he also demonstrates a versatile vocal range too, going from piercing Bee Gees-style falsettos one minute to a baritone croon the next on the album’s title track. His accessible lyrics add a personal touch that will win over those pensive college radio types as well.
