Where this album fits
- Career context
- By the time 'Like the Deserts Miss the Rain' was released in January 2002, Everything but the Girl had already enjoyed considerable success with their previous albums. This release marked a creative evolution for the duo, following their acclaimed 1994 album 'Amplified Heart', which had introduced them to a broader audience through their hit single 'Missing'. In this context, the album reflects a deeper embrace of electronic influences and a more mature lyrical perspective.
