About The Record:

Back into Blue is the third album by the band Quarterflash, released in 1985. It has Quarterflash sounding less like a rock band and more like a synth-driven dance club quartet. Walking on Ice is a charged little number with a hard thrust, making smart use of the keyboards, while Back into Blue is a friendly sounding love song that highlights Rindy Ross' seductive vocals. Even Caught in the Rain displays an attempt at tightening up the songwriting after the unsuccessful release of 1983's Take Another Picture (allmusic.com). The single Talk to Me peaked at No. 83 on Billboard's Hot 100 and the album itself reached No. 150 on Billboard 200 in the U.S.
