About this album

Savage finds Eurythmics turning away from polished hitmaking towards something colder, stranger and more psychologically direct. Issued in 1987, the album blends synth-pop and pop-rock with sharply drawn hooks, but its true force lies in Annie Lennox’s fierce vocal character and the duo’s lean, dramatic production. Recorded after the success of their global 1980s run, it includes some of their most memorable songs, among them You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart and Beethoven (I Love To Listen To). The result is one of the group’s most distinctive later statements, balancing commercial instinct with a biting, self-aware edge.

Genre: Pop & Rock
