Tropical Brainstorm


Tropical Brainstorm is the fifth and final studio album by Kirsty MacColl, released in 2000. It was inspired by her trips to Cuba, and many tracks include Spanish or Portuguese lyrics. "Good for Me", a non-album track co-written with James Knight, was her last song.
Despite the apparent success of the album, the V2 label dropped MacColl before her death in 2000.
The album was released with three extra tracks in the US.
