10 Greatest INXS Songs Of All Time
4. New Sensation
While some may argue that Andre Farriss simply used the tune from What You Need while Hutchence added some new lyrics, there is actually a lot more going on here. Yes, the song reverts to a more customary INXS sound, that doesn't stop this from being one of their great hits, another from Kick.
Like the previous song on the list, this song starts powerfully and never lets up, with the instrumentals a template for Hutchence to deliver one of his most awesome vocal performances. While providing his usual sense of sexual brooding, the lead man also brings charm and defiance to his words, letting the world know that there was a new number one rock band and the other competitors could get the hell out of their way.
The song was a worldwide commercial success, especially in North America, reaching number 3 in the US and topping the charts in Canada.
