What makes Speak by Londonbeat notable?

The album features the hit single 'I've Been Thinking About You,' which propelled Londonbeat into mainstream popularity, reaching number one on charts across several countries. Its blend of electronic dance and rhythm and blues not only showcased the band's versatility but also contributed significantly to the evolution of the dance-pop genre during this era. When 'Speak' was released in 1988, Londonbeat was transitioning from their debut album success. This sophomore effort followed the chart-topping hits of their earlier work, positioning them firmly in the late 80s dance music scene as they sought to solidify their sound and expand their audience.
