About The Record:
Touch, by Eurythmics, is a rich and expansive synth-pop collection that blends majestic arrangements with funky rhythms while showcasing Annie Lennox's vocal versatility and Dave Stewart's experimental production. Recorded and mixed in just three weeks at their London studio The Church, it notably featured the British Philharmonic Orchestra's string section captured in the intimate space and marked Stewart's first solo producer credit. Fan-favorites include the dramatic No Fear, No Hate, No Pain (No Broken Hearts) with its minimalist dystopian feel and powerful Lennox performance alongside standout tracks like the soulful Regrets and Cool Blue. The album cemented the duo's place in pop history as a defining moment in 1980s synth-pop and earned a spot on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It spawned the hit singles Who's That Girl? (No. 3 UK), Right by Your Side (No. 10 UK), and Here Comes the Rain Again (No. 8 UK), with the album itself reaching No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 7 on the US Billboard 200.
