In this episode, we dive deep into Riptide, the 1985 album that catapulted Robert Palmer from cult favorite to global superstar. Best known for the monster hit "Addicted to Love," Riptide is more than just its MTV-defining visuals — it’s a sleek, soulful, and surprisingly eclectic album that blends rock, funk, and pop with Palmer’s trademark cool. We explore the album’s connections to Power Station, and reflect on how Palmer balanced style and substance like few others in the '80s. Suit up — it's time to ride the Riptide.
