Obsessions

The song Obsessions, with its 4:44 duration, is from the album Still Waters, which the Bee Gees released in March 1997 in the United Kingdom. This work featured the collaboration of several renowned producers, including Arif Mardin, who also handled the arrangements with Steve Skinner. The recording had Jason Goldstein and Joe Lizzi as engineers. Brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, who founded the group in 1958, are the authors of the music for this track.

The context of Still Waters comes after the cancellation of a tour planned for 1994, which had to be postponed due to health issues of Barry Gibb. At that time, Robin Gibb had commented that the group was working on a project of acoustic versions of songs written for other artists, which would eventually be called Love Songs. This album, Still Waters, represents the twenty-first and penultimate studio work by the Bee Gees, who throughout their career, which began in Australia after moving from England, were characterized by their distinctive vocal harmonies and the composition of their own hits, in addition to producing for other artists.
