About this album

Pressure Drop finds Robert Palmer refining the sleek pop-funk approach that made his early solo work stand out. Released in 1975, the album balances muscular groove, polished songwriting and Palmer’s unmistakably cool vocal delivery, giving songs like Give Me An Inch and the title track a taut, stylish edge. It came at a time when Palmer was building a reputation beyond his earlier bands, and this record helped establish him as a distinctive interpreter and frontman rather than just another rock singer. The result is a concise, assured set that sits neatly between pop radio accessibility and rhythm-driven sophistication.
