"Touched by Jesus" is the third studio album by the British alternative rock band All About Eve. Released on 26 August 1991, the album marked a turning point for the band as it saw them moving towards a more hard-rock sound compared to their earlier folk-tinged aesthetic. This transformation was influenced by their collaboration with producer Warne Livesey and the addition of Marty Willson-Piper, of The Church fame, to their line-up.
The album reached number 47 on the UK Albums Chart and features singles such as "Rhythm of Life" and "Farewell Mr. Sorrow" which enjoyed modest success. "Touched by Jesus" showcases lyrics that delve into introspective themes, reflecting on personal loss, and the complexities of the human emotional spectrum. The record is often praised for Julianna Regan's hauntingly ethereal vocals and the intricate guitar work of Marty Willson-Piper.
The album carries a sense of comfort and warmth — a spiritual solace that justifies its title. It manifests a mature and progressive transition from their previous work, confirming the band's versatility and willingness to experiment with different styles while retaining their unique musical identity.
