Historical Archive
Crush is the sixth studio album by the British synth-pop band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released in 1985. The album continued the band's exploration of electronic music, featuring a more polished sound compared to their earlier works. It includes hit singles such as 'So in Love' and 'If You Leave,' the latter gaining significant popularity after being featured in the film 'Pretty in Pink.' 'Crush' marked a shift in the band's style, embracing a more commercial sound that appealed to a wider audience, while still retaining their distinct melodic sensibilities. The album is noted for its lush production and introspective lyrics, solidifying OMD's place in the synth-pop genre during the 1980s.
