About this album
Riptide is Robert Palmer’s sharpest and most commercially successful statement, fusing pop rock, soul, funk and disco into a sleek mid-1980s crossover. Released in 1985, it turned his cool, polished style into a major hit, driven by songs such as Addicted to Love and I Didn’t Mean to Turn You On. The album’s blend of compact songwriting, punchy grooves and slick production helped define Palmer’s image as an impeccably styled pop sophisticate, while also landing him firmly in the mainstream. It remains one of his best-known and most enduring records.
