"Talking Loud and Clear" is a song by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released on 4 June 1984 as the second single from their fifth studio album Junk Culture (1984).

[3] In a retrospective appraisal, Dave Thompson of AllMusic observed a "lovely" single with "deftly penned" lyrics.

This is a reworked version with newly recorded vocals, a slower tempo and brass added by the Weir Brothers more in line with the style of other tracks on Junk Culture.

The first part was issued as a 10" single for Record Store Day in 2015 under the title "Julia's Song (Dub Version)".

A live performance of "Talking Loud and Clear" recorded at Solihull NEC in December 1993 was issued on the limited edition CD single of "Universal" in 1996.
