Fourth Studio Album Featuring "Urgent", "Waiting For A Girl Like You" & "Juke Box Hero"!
4, also known as Foreigner 4, is the fourth studio album by British-American
rock band Foreigner, released in 1981 on Atlantic Records. Several singles from
the album were hits, including "Urgent", "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and "Juke
Box Hero".
The album was originally titled Silent Partners and later was changed to 4. In
1981, art studio Hipgnosis was asked to design a cover based on the original
title, and they developed a black & white image of a young man in bed with a
pair of binoculars looming overhead. The resulting design was rejected by the
band as they felt it was "too homosexual". The replacement cover for 4 was
designed by Bob Defrin and modeled after an old fashioned film leader. Hipgnosis
is still credited with designing the record labels.
The album marked the completion of the band's shift to hard rock, begun in Head
Games. Both Ian McDonald and Al Greenwood had left before the recording of 4. As
a result, all of the songs on the album are compositions by Mick Jones and/or
Lou Gramm. McDonald and Greenwood had played saxophone and keyboards,
respectively, and so several session musicians were needed to replace their
contributions, among them Junior Walker, who played the saxophone solo in the
bridge of "Urgent", and a young Thomas Dolby, who would later have a successful
solo career.
