- From a songwriting standpoint, 1979’s X-Static is the most uneven of the three albums but is also closest in sound to the records that made Hall & Oates major stars. “Wait for Me” is the song they still play in concert, but “The Woman Comes and Goes” is the one that could easily fit on Voices or Private Eyes.

The album slowly became a massive hit, spinning off four singles into the top 40 of the American pop charts: 'How Does It Feel to Be Back' (number 30 in summer, 1980), 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' (number 12 in fall, 1980), 'Kiss on My List' (number 1 for three weeks in spring, 1981), and 'You Make My Dreams' (number 5 in summer, 1981). 'Everytime You Go Away' was not released as a single but was covered by Paul Young in 1985, when it went to number 1 on the Hot 100 on 27 July 1985. Singers Elisa Chan and Danny Summer covered this song in Cantonese in 1985 and 1986.
Voices was the first album that Hall & Oates produced by themselves, working in conjunction with renowned engineer Neil Kernon.
