Album Notes & Community Reviews

Spandau Ballet completely shed their aggressive blitz-kid club roots to create an immaculately polished, monumentally successful blue-eyed soul record. 'True' is an incredibly lush, highly romantic masterpiece of 80s sophisti-pop, utilizing sweeping saxophone solos and passionate vocal deliveries to craft elegant, uplifting new wave ballads.
