The 1793rd greatest album of all time
Are You Okay? captures Was (Not Was) blending contemporary R&B sensibilities with downtempo grooves, electronic production and rock-tinged synth-pop textures. The album features layered, studio-polished arrangements that mix programmed beats and synths with organic instrumentation, and it continues the group's penchant for ironic, narrative lyrical touches delivered by a variety of vocalists. Overall it presents an eclectic, groove-oriented set that highlights the band's blend of pop, funk and electronic influences.
