Be Yourself Tonight
Eurythmics
Recorded inside a repurposed church in Paris, the sessions capture a live energy that defined mid-eighties pop. This release serves as a point of transition for the duo as they move toward an organic, R&B-influenced aesthetic.
The record famously includes a guest appearance from Aretha Franklin. She joins Lennox to trade vocal performances on a track that departs from their earlier synth-pop experiments.
