Album Introduction
Are You Okay? is the fourth studio album by Was (Not Was) — David Was (born David Weiss) and Don Was (born Don Fagenson), from Detroit, Michigan — released in 1990 on Chrysalis Records. Spy in the House of Love reached US No. 16 (1990) and became the album's biggest hit. The 12-track album demonstrates the duo's adventurous production style, combining infectious grooves, clever songwriting and a wide range of musical influences, blending funk, pop, rock and soul with catchy rhythms, soulful vocals and unexpected musical twists that made Was (Not Was) one of the most distinctive acts of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
