About this album

Children Of The Sun is Billy Thorpe’s bold late-’70s statement, where hard rock, funk and pop collide in a widescreen, cosmic setting. Released in 1979, the album helped position the Australian singer as a larger-than-life rock frontman, built around driving guitars, layered vocals and a futuristic concept that gave the title track its enduring pull. Rather than a simple return to form, it shows Thorpe embracing the era’s bigger production values and melodic hooks while keeping the music muscular and immediate. Its mix of spectacle and directness made it one of his best-known albums and a strong example of classic rock ambition in late-1970s form.

Genre: Pop & Rock
