Testify is the seventh solo studio album by English musician Phil Collins, released on 11 November 2002.
It was the second Phil Collins studio album where no track peaked within the American top 40 singles chart.
Despite the shortage of success the album achieved, his subsequent First Final Farewell Tour proved to be very popular.
[citation needed][4] The album was reissued as a deluxe edition on CD, vinyl and digital on 15 April 2016, including a new second disc with bonus tracks.
[5] Testify was crafted over a two-year period at Collins' home in Switzerland and was recorded in France and Los Angeles.
Most of the album's twelve tracks are derived from demos Collins made in his bedroom studio and finished off with the help of producers Rob Cavallo and James Sanger, engineer Allen Sides, guitarist Tim Pierce, and bassist Paul Bushnell.
After Collins made Dance into the Light without any drum machine, he returned to the device for Testify.
Stuermer also plays guitar on the next track, "Can't Stop Loving You", a cover of Leo Sayer's 1978 country hit.
"I heard Leo Sayer's version of 'Can’t Stop Loving You' on vacation and I was impressed by the fantastic melody.
Following Dance into the Light it was the second Phil Collins studio album where no track cracked the American top 40 singles chart.
The lead single from the album, "Can't Stop Loving You", had success on the Adult Contemporary charts and minor airplay overall.
