Album Notes & Community Reviews

Co-produced by Nile Rodgers, the fifth studio album from the British pop trio leans into massive, slickly orchestrated dance-pop structures. While slightly dialing back their quirkier new wave origins, 'Here's to Future Days' successfully capitalized on their international fame with anthemic hits like 'Lay Your Hands on Me'.
