Boys and Girls

Boys and Girls (1985) is a Bryan Ferry solo album that blends pop, pop rock, sophisti-pop and art pop into a sleek, polished set of songs. The sound emphasizes glossy production, layered keyboards and brass or saxophone accents beneath Ferry's urbane, detached vocal delivery, producing romantic, atmospheric arrangements with a refined, cinematic sheen. The record represents his move into a sophisticated 1980s adult pop style while retaining artful touches from his earlier work.
