About this album

Black & White finds the Pointer Sisters refining their crossover sound into sleek, radio-ready pop and soul. Issued in 1981, the album moved between glossy synth-pop, R&B and funk influences while keeping the group’s signature vocal blend front and centre. Produced in the early-’80s mainstream mould, it delivered one of their biggest enduring hits in Slow Hand, a smouldering ballad that helped define their more adult contemporary direction. The set underlines why the Pointer Sisters stood apart in the era: they could sound playful, polished and emotionally direct without losing their roots in harmony-driven soul.
