Get in Touch with Yourself is the title of the third studio album by the British pop group Swing Out Sister. The album was released on Fontana Records in 1992 (see 1992 in music) and was produced by Paul Staveley O'Duffy.
For the recording of Get in Touch with Yourself, Swing Out Sister was composed primarily of original members Corinne Drewery on lead vocals and Andy Connell on keyboards. Both collaborated with producer O'Duffy on musical arrangements for the album. This was the first Swing Out Sister studio album to which original member Martin Jackson did not contribute, as he left the band during the recording of the Kaleidoscope World album in 1989. Luís Jardim provided percussion to many of the tracks on this album in Jackson's absence, and additional horn players and orchestration were incorporated into the production as well.
Get in Touch with Yourself combines elements of various genres of pop music, such as synthpop and sophisti-pop, while also including touches of more vintage styles such as lounge music. Other musical genres embraced by the group on this album include smooth jazz, soul and dance. Lead singer Drewery was quoted as saying that she typically enjoyed music with more of a retro feel: "I find it difficult to form opinions about a lot of modern music because my head's buried in the past. A lot of my favourite records seem to have been picked up in the discount rack at Woolworth's. I'll be quite happy if our records end up in the Woollies bargain bin in 10 years time."
Get In is the second and final studio album by the British alternative rock band Kenickie. It was released in 1998 and reached number thirty-two on the UK Albums Chart.Get In includes the singles "I Would Fix You" and "Stay in the Sun".
The album was produced by Adrian Bushby and band-member Peter Gofton, except "I Would Fix You" which was produced by Adrian Bushby and Peter Gofton with Andy Carpenter. Having been moved from the closed EMI subsidiary EMIdisc, the album was first released on CD and Cassette by the parent label to mixed reviews on 10 August 1998. The album was re-released in February 2012 by Eastworld with seven bonus tracks. The artwork was designed by Nick Edwards.
All songs written and composed by Laverne and Gofton; except where indicated.
(Swing Out Sister)
I can melt your deepest pain
Catch you out and give it back again
I can fill your each and every hour
Watching over you when no one's there
Standing still and motionless
Getting closer to the edge
You can hear the silent voices in your head
And you try turning back
But you're caught in a trap
'Till you find your conscience stops you in your
tracks
Better get in touch with yourself
Do what you feel I'll make it real
Better get in touch with yourself
Because I'm the one you need so don't mess with
Closer than a night of tenderness
Distant as you let each moment pass
But if you lose the gift that you recieve
Nothing fills the emptiness it leaves
Standing still and motionless
Getting closer to the edge
You can hear the silent voices in your head
And you try turning back
But you're caught in a trap
'Till you find your conscience stops you in your
tracks
Better get in touch with yourself
Do what you feel I'll make it real
Better get in touch with yourself
