Unusual Heat is the seventh studio album by British-American rock band Foreigner, released in June 1991, by Atlantic Records.

[7] Recorded at several different studios across the state of New York and England, and produced by Terry Thomas and Mick Jones, it was the only album with lead singer Johnny Edwards.

As Edwards told UCR in a separate interview, Wild Horses had only just signed its record deal — and although joining for Foreigner was obviously tempting for financial reasons if nothing else, he was reluctant to walk away from his own band after struggling for years to make it on his own terms.

Jones, however, was undeterred—and eager to work with a singer most fans hadn't heard of rather than hiring a big-name replacement who'd come with his own baggage.

[8] Unusual Heat was a commercial failure, only peaking at number 117 on the Billboard 200 chart[9] – a sharp decline in sales comparing with all previous albums, all of which reached the Top 20 and became at least Platinum.
