Victim of Love is the 17th studio album by Elton John, released in 1979. This album marked a departure in sound, leaning more towards a disco and rock-oriented style, reflecting the musical trends of the time. Despite its innovative approach, the album received mixed reviews from critics and was not as commercially successful as some of his earlier works. The title track and 'Bite Your Lip (Get Up and Dance!)' were notable singles that showcased John's ability to blend pop with dance elements, and while the album didn't achieve the same iconic status as his previous releases, it still holds a place in the evolution of his musical career.
