Review

*It's My Life* was a turning point for Talk Talk, as they transitioned from catchy synth-pop tunes to a more sophisticated and layered sound. Producer Tim Friese-Greene's meticulous approach brought out the album's polished yet dynamic essence. With tracks like the titular "It's My Life" and "Such a Shame," the band skillfully blended infectious hooks with intricate instrumentation, making for a captivating listening experience.

The album's commercial success in Europe and the US solidified Talk Talk's international presence, while critical acclaim praised their balance of artistic integrity and commercial appeal. James Marsh's striking cover art, featuring elements of Millais' painting, added a touch of historical and artistic intrigue. Lyrically, the album delved into the complexities of life and relationships, as exemplified by songs like "Dum Dum Girl." *It's My Life* remains a pivotal chapter in Talk Talk's discography and a cherished gem of 1980s music. - Kinslie
