About this album

So is Peter Gabriel’s breakthrough masterpiece, balancing adventurous art-rock ideas with direct, hook-driven pop. Released in 1986, it marked his most accessible solo statement and became the album that brought him to a much wider audience without softening his creative identity. Produced with Daniel Lanois, the record pairs sharp rhythmic detail with emotional immediacy on landmark songs such as Sledgehammer, Don’t Give Up, In Your Eyes and Big Time. Its crossover success, critical acclaim and lasting influence made So one of the defining albums of Gabriel’s career and of 1980s mainstream rock.
