White on White is the fourth studio album by Australian pop/rock singer-songwriter, Brian Cadd. It was released in 1976 via Capitol Records with Robert Appère producing. White on White peaked at number 93 in the Australian Kent Music Report album charts.[1][2]

Background

Cadd arrived in Los Angeles in 1975 and began working on an album with Chelsea Records, but the company was forced into redundancy and Cadd lost his record deal. He signed with Capitol Records shortly after. This was his first major label signing. The album's cover contains the words written on a white background with toothpaste.[3]

AllMusic[4]

Alex Henderson from AllMusic rated the album at two-and-a-half stars out-of five; he explained, "Favoring an approach that is somewhere between Elton John and Billy Joel, Cadd delivers an album that is generally decent but not mind-blowing. 'All in the Way (That They Use My Face),' 'White on White Eldorado,' and 'W.C. I See' are pleasant, catchy numbers, although one senses that Cadd was capable of more. In 1976, Capitol hoped that people who were into Elton John, Randy Newman and Billy Joel would get into Cadd as well. But White on White wasn't the hit that Cadd was hoping for."[4]
