Savage

Savage, released in 1987 by Eurythmics, is a darker, theatrical synth-pop record that blends electronic production with pop, dance-rock and rock textures. Annie Lennox adopts a range of vocal personae while Dave Stewart's arrangements use layered synthesizers, samples and gritty guitar accents to create a tense, cinematic sound. Lyrically the album often explores identity, gender and media imagery, giving it a conceptually cohesive and stylistically adventurous tone compared with the duo's earlier mainstream pop work.
