English musician and songwriter; co-founder of Tears for Fears and author of the solo album Tomcats Screaming Outside.

Publicly known as co-founder, principal songwriter and guitarist/vocalist of Tears for Fears. The provided review describes his solo album Tomcats Screaming Outside as personal, stylistically ranging from new wave and synth-pop to electronic and folk touches, and notes Alan Griffith is credited as writer on half of the album's tracks.

The available review treats Roland Orzabal's solo album Tomcats Screaming Outside as a personal, stylistically varied record that departs from Beatlesque pop toward darker new wave and electronic textures. The reviewer praises craft and moments of excellence but finds the album falls short of Orzabal's highest artistic achievements. The overall judgement is mixed — competent and interesting, not a masterpiece.

For:Fans of Tears For Fears, listeners of new wave and synth-pop, and readers of measured album criticism

 Roland Orzabal is among the select group of authors almost unanimously defined as pop geniuses.
