On This Day: April 29 1985 – Eurythmics Released Be Yourself Tonight
On this day April 29 1985, Eurythmics released their fourth studio album Be Yourself Tonight. The album marked a shift in their sound, moving from synth heavy new wave into a more soulful and rock influenced style that expanded their fan base even further.

Be Yourself Tonight reached number 9 on the US Billboard 200 and hit number 1 in Australia. The album featured the hit single Would I Lie To You along with other standouts like There Must Be an Angel and Sisters Are Doin It for Themselves. With bold production and Annie Lennox’s powerful vocals, the album became one of their most commercially successful releases.

It captured the energy of the mid 80s perfectly with a mix of confidence, emotion, and unforgettable hooks.

Fun fact: Stevie Wonder played harmonica on the track There Must Be an Angel, adding even more star power to the album.
