"This Side of Love" comes from Neither Fish Nor Flesh, the 1989 second album by American singer-songwriter Terence Trent D'Arby, released on Columbia, and he kept a tight grip on it: he wrote it, produced it and played several of the instruments himself. Critics heard Sly and the Family Stone and Prince in its bones and praised its rough, unvarnished pull, a sound that keeps its fingerprints on rather than wiping them off.
As a single it did its best business in the Netherlands, where one chart had it in the top 10, and it cracked the top 40 in both New Zealand and Italy, while Canada and the UK held it to the top 100. It has since resurfaced on several of his compilations.
