Brilliant (album)
Brilliant is the eleventh and final studio album by British synth-pop band Ultravox. It was released on 25 May 2012 by Chrysalis Records. It is the group's first studio album in 18 years, and the first in 28 years from the "classic" Ultravox line-up of Midge Ure, Billy Currie, Warren Cann and Chris Cross. The title track was released as its lead single, and premiered on 17 April 2012 on BBC Radio 2. The inspiration for the album was Ms Elizabeth Coles, Midge Ure met her in a sandwich bar in Battersea and was convinced that she was utterly brilliant and said he would name his next album after her.
Brilliant debuted at number 21 on the UK Albums Chart, selling 6,100 copies in its first week. It received mixed reviews from critics.Track listing
