The lead single from their third album, 'True,' "Communication" saw Spandau Ballet further refining their signature sound, blending synth-pop sensibilities with soulful vocals. This track marked a departure from their earlier, more angular new wave material, showcasing a greater emphasis on pop accessibility and melodic hooks.
- "Communication" was released on February 4, 1983, by Sire Records.
- The single preceded the release of the band's third studio album, 'True,' which would go on to be their most commercially successful record.
- Despite its status as a lead single, "Communication" did not achieve the same level of chart success as subsequent singles from the 'True' album, such as the title track or "Gold."
Spandau Ballet were a versatile English group, emerging from London's New Romantic scene in the late 1970s and achieving global success with their blend of soulful pop and sophisticated ballads. By 1983, they had moved away from their earlier, more experimental sound, solidifying their status as polished hitmakers on the international stage.
