"Open Letter (To a Landlord)" is a song by American rock band Living Colour. A power ballad,[3] it was released as the fourth single from their 1988 debut album, Vivid. The song reached No. 82 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4]
Malu Halasa, reviewer of British music newspaper Record Mirror, called Vernon Reid a "reputed virtuoso in the axe licks department" and described "Open Letter" as "practically atonal with not a pop melody in sight".[5] Ian Gittins of Melody Maker wrote, "Living Colour also deserve far more applause than they've often had in these pages", advising them to "have some more fun".[6]
