Description:

From Luxury to Heartache, recorded in Montreux and New York and released in April 1986, reflects a turbulent period marked by George’s personal struggles and a shift in production toward Arif Mardin’s polished pop-reggae fusion Tracks like “Move Away,” “I Pray,” and “Sexuality” showcase Caribbean rhythms and glossy synth textures over heartfelt lyrics—highlighting the band’s ability to evolve as British pop intersected with mainstream American adult contemporary.
