Tonight is the sixteenth studio album by English singer-songwriter David Bowie, released on 29 September 1984 by EMI America Records. The follow-up to his most commercially successful album Let's Dance (1983), it was written and recorded in mid-1984 at Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec, Canada following the conclusion of the Serious Moonlight Tour. Much of the album's sound is the same as its predecessor's, due to Bowie's effort to retain the new audience that he had recently acquired. The album was produced by Bowie, Derek Bramble and Hugh Padgham. Much of Bowie's creative process was the exact same as Let's Dance. Like its predecessor, Bowie played no instruments on Tonight, instead offering little creative input to the musicians during the sessions. He also recorded multiple demos of the tracks beforehand, something collaborator Carlos Alomar recalled that he rarely did previously. Three songs, including the title track, were covers of Iggy Pop songs, who was present during most of the sessions and co-writer on multiple tracks. The title track features singer Tina Turner. Supported by the singles "Loving the Alien", "Blue Jean" and the title track, Tonight was a commercial success, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart. It was eventually certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). However, it received mostly poor reviews from music critics, with most noting its lack of creativity. Bowie would express dissatisfaction with it in later years, calling it not one of his stronger efforts. Bowie did not tour in support of the album, and only performed "Loving the Alien" and "Blue Jean" on subsequent tours. The album was remastered in 2018 as part of the box set Loving the Alien (1983–1988).
