His very first single “In the Air Tonight” was a hit in 1981, and it gave him international recognition. In his solo career, Phil attained three singles in the number one position in the UK and seven in the US between 19 and recorded more US top 40 singles compared to other artists in the 1980s. Before venturing in his solo career which was a huge success, he began as a lead singer and drummer in the rock band known as the Genesis (Collins and Genius Contributors).
Phil is not only an English singer, songwriter, and musician he is also a recognized record producer and actor.
Debuted in 1981, In the Air Tonight was Phil Collins’s first solo hit that carried an irregular form and distinct production that suitably conveys the personal events that took place in his most recent love life. The following paper constructs an informative essay of the events and cultural relevance of the song. Phil has said he was fresh off a divorce and his resentment towards her gave him the ideal outlook for composing the song, the events surrounding its creation. With time, fans, along with the artist’s own suggestions, developed theories about the song’s lyrical and video meaning. The background of its composition remains shady with the artist even admitting he did not have a specific event in mind when he wrote and sang it. In the Air Tonight is still one of Phil Collins most recognized singles.
