Break of Hearts (album)

Break of Hearts is the fifth studio album by rock band Katrina and the Waves, released in 1989 (see 1989 in music).

Singer Katrina Leskanich said on the band's website, "SBK told us that they could see us as a stadium band, Bryan Adams style, and [guitarist Kimberley Rew] was coming up with this stuff that was perfect for rock radio.

Trouser Press described the album as a "horrendously wrongheaded comeback bid that shows the Waves to be utterly oblivious to their own strengths," calling it "bland, overprocessed commercial slop.

"[2] Rew was quoted on the website saying, "We've never been successful enough to be immune from the influences of producers and marketing men ... the more we fell for those 80s trademarks, the more we diluted the band.

"[3] All tracks are written by Alex Cooper, Vince de la Cruz, Katrina Leskanich and Kimberley Rew, except where notedCredits adapted from the album's liner notes.
