About this album

Sound: "A vibrant blend of synth-pop and pop rock that infuses emotional depth with danceable rhythms."

Where they were

By the time 'Revolution of the Heart' was released in 2005, Howard Jones was revisiting his career after a decade-long hiatus from original studio albums. This marked his first new album since 'The Peaceful Revolution' in 1994, showcasing a return to form and exploration of new sounds while still embracing his signature style.

Why it matters

The album features tracks that highlight Jones' enduring appeal within the synth-pop genre, though it did not achieve significant commercial success compared to his earlier works. It is notable for its thematic focus on love and personal growth, resonating with both long-time fans and new listeners in an era when nostalgia for 80s music was resurging.

Essential tracks

  • "Just Look at You Now" — This song stands out for its infectious chorus and introspective lyrics, showcasing Jones' ability to blend pop hooks with meaningful storytelling.
