Strip by Adam Ant

Strip, Adam Ant's second solo album, came out on Columbia in November 1983 and steered him away from the rock charge of his earlier records toward pop and the dance floor. Marco Pirroni was still at his side as co-writer, and the two of them shared the production chair with Richard James Burgess.
The title track is the calling card, a sly, slinky bit of dance-pop with plenty of swagger in its hips, and "Puss 'N Boots" keeps the bounce going. Not everyone followed him down this road: it sold less at home than the albums before it, did only modest business in America, and most critics gave it a cool reception.
