"Retroglide" is the eleventh studio album by the English jazz-funk band Level 42, released 12 years after their previous album. The album, which reached the UK Top 80, blends electronica with the band’s signature funk and pop style. Notably, it includes contributions from Boon Gould, the band's original guitarist, and features his guitar work on the track "Ship." Mark King, the band's bassist and vocalist, also contributed to the album.
The album cover, designed by Alan Brooks—who had previously created covers for the band’s 1983 singles "The Chinese Way" and "Out of Sight, Out of Mind"—presents a futuristic update of the band's Princess logo. This logo, first introduced on Level 42's 1981 self-titled debut album, was inspired by the character Maria from the 1927 film Metropolis.
