FOREIGNER-AGENT PROVOCATEUR (1984)

Puesto a la venta en 1984  y con MTV dentro de la ecuación comercial, Foreigner puso todo lo que tenía en una balada con aires de góspel llamada “I Want to Know What Love Is”, cuyos coros estaban interpretados por el Coro de Misa de Nueva Jersey. La canción fue uno de los éxitos más importantes de la incipiente MTV y de la radio norteamericana.

Sin embargo, a pesar de la popularidad del sencillo, las ventas del LP no tuvieron el nivel de discos anteriores fundamentalmente porque el disco no era tan compacto y sólido como los anteriores.

All songs written by Lou Gramm and Mick Jones except where noted.
