Camouflage (Rod Stewart album)

"Camouflage" is the thirteenth studio album by British rock singer Rod Stewart, released on June 8, 1984, by Warner Bros. Records. Departing from his previous works, which primarily featured rock and pop-rock elements, "Camouflage" embraces a more electronic and synth-pop sound, reflecting the trends of the era.

The album features a mix of original compositions and cover songs, including Stewart's renditions of Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" and Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready." Stewart's distinctive raspy vocals are complemented by the synthesizer-driven arrangements, creating a unique fusion of pop and electronic music.

Despite its departure from Stewart's usual style, "Camouflage" was a commercial success, reaching the top ten in several countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States. The album's lead single, "Infatuation," became a chart-topping hit, further solidifying Stewart's status as a prominent figure in popular music.

While "Camouflage" may not be considered one of Stewart's most iconic albums, its experimentation with electronic sounds and successful incorporation of cover songs make it a noteworthy addition to his discography. The album's blend of synth-pop and Stewart's signature vocals offers a refreshing take on his musical versatility, appealing to both longtime fans and new listeners alike.
