Contact (Platinum Blonde album)

Contact is the second studio album by the Canadian new wave band Platinum Blonde, released in 1985. The album followed their successful debut Standing in the Dark, and continued their synth-driven sound with a slightly more polished and pop-oriented approach. While not reaching the same commercial heights as its predecessor, Contact produced several singles, including "Crying Over You" and "Situation Critical." The album showcased the band's evolving songwriting and musicianship, further solidifying their place in the Canadian music scene during the mid-1980s. The album's themes generally revolve around relationships, anxieties of modern life, and social commentary, typical of new wave music of the era. The album was released on CBS Records.
