#606 LOVE IS A STRANGER Eurythmics
It may surprise some that a song as striking as "Love is a Stranger" failed to attract much attention when first released. Eurythmics released the single in 1982. In Britain, it only reached #54 and charted for just 5 weeks. The track was written by the duo. Dave Stewart co-produced it with Adam Williams. It was included on their 2nd album, 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This). Following the success of its title track the following year, the duo's profile had been raised. 
Re-released as a follow up single, this time around "...Stranger" fared far better, peaking at #6 in the UK. The duo made great use of music videos and MTV which helped them score chart hits  internationally. The single features a creative use of synthesizer and a distinctive vocal from Annie Lennox which augments the overall feel of the recording.
