Magnet is the fifth solo album by Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees, released in 2003, just two weeks after the death of his twin brother and bandmate, Maurice.
The song "Love Hurts" was originally recorded by The Everly Brothers, and he re-recorded the songs "Another Lonely Night in New York" (originally released in 1983 on How Old Are You?) and "Wish You Were Here" (released in 1989, from the Bee Gees' album One ). [4] [5] [6]
"Please" was edited to 3:59 for its single version, [7] while "Wait Forever" was edited to 3:37. The Shanghai Surprise mix version of "Wait Forever" with a length of 6:52 was also released in 2003, and was produced by Craig Jones and Porl Young. [8]
