Album Notes & Community Reviews

Signaling a robust stylistic departure, this commercial blockbuster saw the duo transition away from icy electronic synthpop toward a warmer, more band-oriented rock and soul sound. 'Be Yourself Tonight' incorporates prominent horn sections, guitar solos, and high-profile guest appearances, most notably from Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder. The pivot proved immensely successful, solidifying Annie Lennox's status as a powerhouse R&B vocalist and expanding their global mainstream appeal.
