Editor's note

Peter Gabriel's solo work after Genesis

A singer who left a famous band to make his own kind of music.

For a good sense of his solo voice, start with 'Solsbury Hill' and maybe 'The Book Of Love.' They show different sides of what he does.

After leaving Genesis in 1975, Gabriel released 'Solsbury Hill' on his first solo album. That song became a signature piece about personal change. His later work like 'Digging In The Dirt' kept exploring social themes without following pop formulas.

He started as Genesis's theatrical frontman before going solo in 1977. Over the next decades, he collaborated with artists like Kate Bush and Brian Eno while releasing material on his own terms.

Archive material and source history

Peter Gabriel first became known as the lead singer of Genesis, where his theatrical stage presence stood out. He left the band in 1975 and released his first solo album two years later. That self-titled record included 'Solsbury Hill,' a song that became closely associated with him.

His solo work often explored social and political themes. He collaborated with other artists like Kate Bush and Brian Eno. Some of his later songs include 'Digging In The Dirt' and 'My Body Is A Cage.'

Gabriel's music didn't always follow conventional pop structures, which sometimes drew criticism. He kept working on his own terms, releasing material over several decades without settling into a predictable pattern.
