"Lodger" marked the end of Bowie's "Berlin Trilogy" with Brian Eno and Tony Visconti, moving away from the experimental soundscapes of its predecessors toward a more direct, song-based approach. The album's eclectic sound and lyrical themes reflected a growing interest in world music and political commentary.
- The album was recorded in Switzerland and France, with sessions beginning in Montreux in the autumn of 1978.
- Although sometimes considered the final part of the "Berlin Trilogy," Bowie himself described it as "a sort of cautionary, negative view of Europe at the end of the 70s."
- "Lodger" reached number 20 on the UK Albums Chart and number 54 on the Billboard 200 in the United States.
