Back To Front is the fifth
studio album by French-Belgian singer Viktor Lazlo. A French version of the album was
recorded and released in France, entitled Verso. The album
was her first album not to be released on Polydor Records but on East/West Records.
Lazlo had started to work
on the album in 1992 according to East/West Records' press release. The album
was recorded on the Bahamas. The album cover features a nude backside of Viktor
Lazlo with jewels of Christian Lacroix in her hair. Lazlo explains the album cover as
followed: "Up until now I have always been reduced to my looks and my
fancy clothes to the extend that I often didn't know who I really was. I
just didn't want to continue like that." In an interview with Het
Nieuwsblad she continued: "I'm thrilled. An entire day of interviews, and no one has asked
a thing about my clothes. For the first time in my career, they aren't talking
about beauty or fashion, but about music. For the
first time they are really interested in my music.
Two songs were written by Shelly
Peiken and Albert Hammond, one of them being the song Have Mercy, which
had previously been recorded by Yazz. Among the guest musicians on this album
were Sly and Robbie, responsible for drum programming and bass.
I am looking for you
A little out of time
Like the moment we met
When I knew you'd be mine.
Could I really be near you
And hear the things you say?
Could I ever believe you would stay?
So I'm waiting for the night
To turn away from the light
When I need to keep you on
My mind.
Yes, I'm waiting for the night
To feel you by my side.
When I need you most
I'm left behind.
At the end of the day
When everything is quiet,
I know I have to leave you
To dreams where you can hide.
I remember the sunshine
To lighten up my life.
Now I'm waiting for you –
Give me a sign.
So I'm waiting for the night
To turn away from the light
When I need to keep you on
My mind.
Yes, I'm waiting for the night
To feel you by my side.
When I need you most
I'm left behind.
Everything that I try,
No matter what I do,
Brings me back every moment
That I would spend with you.
And I live in a daydream,
The memory of your touch
And I wonder how long,
I wonder how much.
So I'm waiting for the night
To turn away from the light
When I need to keep you on
My mind.
