Nights Like This (album)

Nights Like This is the third studio album by American singer Stacey Q, released on June 8, 1989 by Atlantic Records. It was her last album to be released on the Atlantic label before she went on a hiatus from making music until the release of her album Boomerang (1997). After the moderate commercial success of her album Hard Machine (1988), Swain decided to pursue a new musical direction. She again worked with Jon St. James but also invited other producers, such as Clivillés & Cole, Robert Gordon or Bruce Gaitsch, to achieve a different sound. Nights Like This is predominantly influenced by freestyle and house music, making it a musical departure from her previous work. The album is, like her album Hard Machine, dedicated to her friend and hair stylist, Danny Medellin, who died in 1988.

Singles
"Give You All My Love" was released as the lead single from the album on May 25, 1989. The music video was shot in Los Angeles, California. It features Swain dancing with her friends inside a loft apartment. One of the dancers is Michael Chambers. ==Critical reception==
Critical reception
Upon its release, Nights Like This received generally positive reviews from music critics, mostly praising its dance club sound. Justin Kantor at AllMusic gave it two and a half star out of five, calling the songs on the album "more trend-setting than trend-conscious" and recommending it to "club-goers looking for a rhythmically consistent album with just a touch of a pop sensibility." ==Track listing==
