Robert Palmer: Clues
Briefly

Robert Palmer's album 'Clues' represents a pivotal moment in music, bridging the gap between the album-oriented 1970s and the electronic futurism of the 1980s.
Clues, released in 1980, encapsulates a unique sound as it attempts to evolve from 1970s rock into the emerging electro styles of the 1980s.
The album's singles, "Looking for Clues" and "Johnny and Mary," exemplify Palmer's transition during a time when rock infused with new-wave elements was rising.
Although Palmer's career trajectory placed him between rock stardom and cult fame, 'Addicted to Love' illustrated his impact during MTV's golden age in the mid-1980s.
