About this album

1984 (For The Love Of Big Brother) finds Eurythmics turning Orwell’s dystopia into one of the era’s most unsettling pop soundtracks. Released in 1984, the album pairs biting synth-pop with harder-edged rock textures, led by Dave Stewart’s production and Annie Lennox’s commanding vocal presence. ‘Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)’ became the standout single, helping the project reach well beyond soundtrack duty and into the band’s wider pop success. Written for Michael Radford’s film adaptation of Nineteen Eighty-Four, the record mirrors the novel’s tension, surveillance and emotional numbness while still delivering the melodic force that made Eurythmics one of the decade’s most distinctive acts.
