This work delves into deeper sounds and introspective themes.
The production is a glittering arrangement typical of the 80s, but the melody line is permeated with the humanity and lyricism that is characteristic of Springfield.
Since this was the last album he released before taking a break from music, Rock of Life can be considered the culmination of Rick Springfield's 1980s career. It's a work that perfectly balances catchiness and introspection, marking a crucial turning point in his career.
