"Frontiers" is the eighth studio album by the American rock band Journey, released in February 1983 on the Columbia Records label. The album reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and would garner four top 40 singles: "After the Fall" (No. 23), "Send Her My Love" (No. 23), "Faithfully" (No. 12), and "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" (No. 8), and a rock radio hit in "Chain Reaction." The album would later achieve the RIAA certification of six times platinum.
The band Journey was formed in 1973 in San Francisco, by former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases, but the height of their commercial success came in the late 1970s to the mid-1980s. The lineup for Frontiers, which consisted of former members of Santana: lead vocalist Steve Perry and guitarist Neal Schon, along with bassist Ross Valory, drummer Steve Smith, and keyboardist Jonathan Cain, is considered the band's classic lineup. The production of the album was done by Mike Stone and Kevin Elson. The music of Frontiers was a fusion of rock and pop, characteristic of Journey's signature style.
