About this album
Rat In The Kitchen is one of UB40’s strongest reggae-pop albums, pairing hooky melodies with pointed social commentary. Released in 1986, it arrived during the band’s commercial peak and continued the formula that made them one of Britain’s most successful crossover acts. The title track and Sing Our Own Song show how UB40 could fold politics, humour and accessibility into tight, radio-ready arrangements, while the rest of the record keeps the rhythm section front and centre. With its polished production and easy crossover appeal, the album helped cement UB40’s status far beyond the UK reggae scene.
