About this album

Bitter Sweet is a sharp, polished pop statement from King, the band best known for stylish singles and a distinctive mid-1980s sound. Issued in 1985, the album builds on their knack for bright melodies, taut arrangements and sly lyrical detail, giving songs like Platform One and Alone Without You a blend of immediacy and attitude. Coming after the group’s breakthrough period, it showed King refining their approach rather than simply repeating it, with production that keeps the material clean, punchy and radio-ready. The result is one of the more characterful pop albums of its era, marked by catchy hooks and a confident sense of identity.
