Voyeur is the fifth studio album from the American new wave band Berlin, released in 2002 by iMUSIC.[2] It was the band's first studio album since 1986's Count Three & Pray, with singer Terri Nunn as the only original member of the new line-up.
Following the release of Count Three & Pray, the original Berlin split in 1987, but was revived by Nunn with a new line-up in 1998.[3] With the arrival of new member Mitchell Sigman in 2000,[4] Berlin began recording Voyeur in 2001. Originally, Nunn had planned to independently release an EP of new material, however the band then signed with iMUSIC who requested a full album. Speaking of the album's sound to Billboard, iMUSIC vice chairman commented: "It does not sound like an early-80s band trying to make a comeback. We heard the music and [believed] it was relevant and contemporary."[5][6]
Voyeur was released in August 2002. To promote the album, iMUSIC focused on using the internet to "re-establish links with longtime fans while cultivating a new audience". Berlin embarked on a press and radio tour in September, followed by a series of live concert dates.[5] In 2003, "With a Touch" was released as a promotional single in the US.[7] In mid-2003, Voyeur reached No. 33 on the CMJ New Music Report's RPM Chart, based on the airplay it had gained.[8]
Upon release, Billboard described the album as a "continuation of its 1980s synth-hewn, new-wave beginnings" and a "welcome return", adding: "The group picks up its dance roots and signature vocals throughout Voyeur, particularly on such tracks as "Blink of an Eye" and "Drug"."[9] Will Harris of PopMatters commented Voyeur "could well be the best work they've ever produced". He added: "The dance influences remain on Voyeur; in fact, the first two tracks, "Blink of an Eye" and "Shiny", are both potential floor-fillers."[11] Curve described the album as "a mutation of Nunn's "No More Words" โ steady pop vocals, a deeper edge to catch up with the times, and a multitude of layers: plugged-in guitar, dance-mix sequences and thick harmonies."[10]
