Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released remarkably soon after their commercial breakthrough, 'Touch' expands the Eurythmics' sound into deeply lush, beautifully atmospheric realms of sophisticated synth-pop. Annie Lennox delivers profoundly passionate, melancholic vocal performances over Dave Stewart's quirky, heavily rhythmic electronic arrangements. The album is a cold yet emotionally resonant masterpiece brimming with surreal pop majesty.
