You're Under Arrest

by Miles Davis

You're Under Arrest cover art

Miles Davis fully embraced the slick, synthesized aesthetic of 1980s pop on 'You're Under Arrest', famously incorporating covers of contemporary hits by Cyndi Lauper and Michael Jackson. The album blends highly melodic, atmospheric smooth jazz with heavily processed, urban funk-rock rhythms. It is a deeply polarizing, distinctly nocturnal record that highlights Davis's relentless, controversial commitment to modernity.
