On this day January 28 1981, Healing by Todd Rundgren was released, presenting one of his most experimental and introspective works of the early decade. The album moved away from conventional song structure, focusing instead on atmosphere spirituality and extended compositions designed to create a meditative listening experience.
Healing reflected how the early 1980s still allowed established artists the freedom to explore unconventional ideas outside commercial expectations. Its release showed a side of the decade that supported artistic risk taking and personal expression, especially from musicians with a strong creative identity.
80s insight: The early 1980s gave artists room to experiment beyond mainstream formulas.
