Out of the Blue is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Debbie Gibson, released on August 18, 1987 by Atlantic Records. The album received favorable reviews from music critics and sold more than 3 million copies in the United States (3 times platinum by RIAA) and 5 million copies worldwide.
Gibson personally wrote all ten songs on this album. As executive producer, Douglas Breitbart of Broadbeard Productions, Inc. (whom Gibson's mother had hired as manager five years before), assembled a team of producers from both New York and Florida: Fred Zarr, John Morales, Sergio Munzibai and Lewis A. Martineé.
Zarr produced "Shake Your Love" and "Fallen Angel" in addition to "Only in My Dreams," and co-produced "Out of the Blue," "Staying Together" and "Wake Up to Love" with Gibson, sole producer for "Foolish Beat." Morales and Munzibai produced "Red Hot" and "Between the Lines." Martineé produced "Play the Field".
While posing for the album cover, Gibson was told by the photographer that her knee was pulling focus; as a compromise, the makeup artist drew a face on her knee. This became a fashion trend among girls who attended her concerts.
Out of the Blue made No. 7 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and No. 26 on the UK Albums Chart.[5][6] The album sold over 3 million copies in the United States, and 5 million copies worldwide.[8][1]
