About this album
The Secret of Association is Paul Young’s polished pop-soul breakthrough, pairing smooth new wave production with a soul singer’s emotional weight. Released in 1985, it built on the success of No Parlez and confirmed Young as one of British pop’s most distinctive mainstream voices. The album features his transatlantic signature hit “Every Time You Go Away”, alongside interpretations that helped define his appeal, including “I’m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down” and “Everything Must Change”. Blending radio-ready hooks with blue-eyed soul styling, the record was a major commercial success and remains the album most closely associated with Young’s peak years.
