I wanted to be a part of the executive side of business. : You have your own record label now? JONES: Yes. I also spent time developing my own label. : Why did you take a break after the last album? JONES: All of the artists from LaFace went to Jive and my contract ended at Jive, I wanted to spend time with my family and put out the new album when I was ready. I only get better because I learn something new each day. My lyrics, voice and songwriting ability have changed. Also, when you listen to my first album up until now - you definitely hear the growth. This project I wanted to do most of the work. : How does “Lyrics” differ from past projects? JONES: My previous projects I did about 70 percent of the work and had producers come out for the other part.

Track listing Pulp His N Hers RarĪll lyrics written by Jarvis Cocker all music composed by Pulp. The album closer, 'David's Last Summer', is notable as being one of Pulp's most narrative songs, delivered entirely in spoken word apart from the chorus despite being an uptempo track. 'She's a Lady' takes much of its musical inspiration from Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive'. Robyn Strachan retrospectively describes the opener 'Joyriders' as setting the tone for the album with 'acerbic observation and lurking seediness and decay'. Lyrically, the album encompasses subjects for which Pulp were to become well known, including sexual encounters, social class and voyeurism. It contained a second disc of B-sides, demos and rarities. 'Lipgloss', 'Do You Remember the First Time?', 'Razzmatazz', and a new mix of 'Babies' were released as singles, the latter as part of the Sisters EP.Ī 'deluxe edition' of His 'n' Hers was released on 11 September 2006.
