About this album

Night And Day is Joe Jackson’s sharpest and most successful crossover statement, where new wave bite meets jazz-leaning sophistication without losing pop immediacy. Released in 1982, it marked a deliberate shift from his earlier punk-rooted work towards a more urbane sound, shaped in part by his move to New York and his interest in cabaret, swing and Latin rhythms. Led by the international hit Steppin’ Out and the wry, restless Real Men, the album became his commercial breakthrough in the UK and US and is widely regarded as one of the defining pop albums of the early 1980s. Its wit, melodic control and stylistic range give it lasting appeal.
