<p> An afternoon spent with the Monarch Notes to a few key
Greek tragedies could have preserved his stardom. Hubris,
TERENCE TRENT D'ARBY might have gleaned, can really kill a
career. The soulful rocker--whose 1987 debut album sold 8
million copies--quickly bored fans silly with his declarations
of inflated self-perception: "I am a genius," he told one
journalist. "I will be as massive as Madonna, as massive as
Michael Jackson." But his second album, Neither Fish nor Flesh,
failed miserably, making him as massive as Eydie Gorme. "I was
trying to calculate the best way to draw attention to my music,"
says D'Arby regretfully. "I didn't think it would come back to
haunt me." Now, after four years of ego-shrinking obscurity,
he's returning with Symphony or Damn, an album that already has
critics groping for superlatives. His current self-promotion
tactic? Cut the hype and be direct. "I'm doing a U.S. tour.
Would you print that?"
