About this album

Every Beat of My Heart finds Rod Stewart firmly in polished mid-80s mode, blending soft rock, pop rock and torchy ballads with the raspy charisma that kept him commercially vital. Issued in 1986, the album was part of a run that leaned on sleek production values and radio-ready songwriting rather than the rougher edge of his earlier work. Songs such as Love Touch, title track Every Beat of My Heart and Here to Eternity underline his move towards glossy mainstream pop, while Stewart's unmistakable voice still gives the material personality and lift. It is a snapshot of an artist adapting to the era's sound without abandoning his identity.
