Precise studio engineering and slick synthesizers create the distinct sheen found throughout this record. The songwriting relies on a combination of electronic instrumentation and soulful vocals that dominated airwaves during the period.
As a global calling card for the Virgin Records era, the album showcases a refined approach to pop. It remains an example of how eighties production techniques merged with emotional delivery to define the mood of the decade.
