Released in March 1983, True is Spandau Ballet’s third studio album and their most commercially successful release. It features the global hit “True,” along with standout tracks like “Gold” and “Lifeline.” The album marked a shift from the band’s earlier new wave sound to a smoother, soul-influenced pop style characterized by lush production and romantic lyricism. True became a defining record of the 1980s, establishing Spandau Ballet as one of the leading acts of the British new romantic movement.
