About this album
Reality Effect is the album where The Tourists turned crisp new wave craft into genuinely memorable pop. Released in 1979, it found the London group balancing sharp guitar lines, bright keyboards and Annie Lennox’s clear, commanding voice with a tighter, more assured songwriting approach. The record’s best-known song, It Doesn’t Have to Be This Way, gave the band their biggest UK success and hinted at the melodic instinct that would later define its best-known members. Produced with a polished, compact sound, the album stands as a strong late-70s statement of British pop-rock with new wave edge.
