Whiplash Smile is an LP by Billy Idol from 1986 released on the Chrysalis label.
About this album
Whiplash Smile finds Billy Idol refining the hard-edged pop-rock sound that made him a solo star. Released in 1986, the album builds on the crossover success of Rebel Yell with tougher guitars, bright hooks and the sneering charisma that defined Idol’s image in the MTV era. Working with producer Keith Forsey, he delivered a set that balanced danceable new wave energy with arena-sized rock muscle, while singles such as To Be a Lover and Sweet Sixteen helped keep him firmly in the mainstream. It became another significant chapter in Idol’s rise as one of the decade’s most recognisable rock frontmen.
