Reception


Q said Hutchence sounded, "a lot like Velvets-era Lou Reed on "Beautiful Girl", a delicate melody which the old-style INXS would have beaten to a pulp."[4]

The B-sides on the first of two UK CD Single releases include solo compositions from lead guitarist Tim Farriss: "In My Living Room" and another by saxophonist and guitarist Kirk Pengilly entitled "Ashtar Speaks" as well the original version of "Strange Desire" from the Welcome to Wherever You Are album.

«Beautiful Girl» es el trigésimo quinto disco sencillo del grupo australiano de rock INXS, el quinto desprendido de su octavo álbum de estudio Welcome to Wherever You Are, y fue publicado el 13 de febrero de 1993. La canción fue escrita por Andrew Farriss, quien se inspiró para escribir esto por el nacimiento de su hija. En una entrevista por Debbie Kruger,[1] el tecladista de INXS explicó: "Yo estaba escribiendo canciones como "Baby Don't Cry" y "Beautiful Girl"y las letras hablan sobre lo maravilloso que es tener algo más en tu vida aparte de ti que preocuparse y pensar ". La cosa más rara acerca de esta versión, fue en los Estados Unidos sólo estaba disponible en formato de casete y no en formato digital (disco compacto).
