Naked Eyes "Fumbling With The Covers"
Although the band was expecting to tour, the label wanted a follow-up, so Byrne and Fisher went into the studio to record "Fuel for the Fire" which produced the hit single "(What) In The Name of Love." Soon enough, the duo was asked to begin work on yet another release, but, rather than continuing what was becoming a never-ending cycle, Byrne and Fisher decided to walk away and leave Naked Eyes as a project to be continued...
The next few years saw both Byrne and Fisher involved in a number of various activities. Fisher teamed up with vocalist Simon Climie on a couple of albums, one of which which spawned the hit single "Love Changes (Everything)." Meanwhile, Byrne collaborated with a number of artists including Stevie Wonder (providing vocals on the #1 single "Part-Time Lover") and also wrote and produced a number of songs for Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen among others. By 1999, Byrne and Fisher decided to pick up where Naked Eyes had left off and started work on a third album. Sadly, it was tragically interrupted when Fisher passed away from complications of surgery that summer. Left to carry on solo, Byrne decided that the best course of action was to start where it had all begun all those years ago back in Bath. "I had the title, I went out and got a guitar, then with guitar and title in hand, went looking for the songs that inspired me to be in a band in the first place." 'Fumbling With The Covers" was released in July 2007...
