Transcription

Background

Eyes of Innocence was the first release by the Miami Sound Machine outside of the Americas. It established breakthrough single success for the band with the lead single, "Dr. Beat", a top 20 hit in Australia, the United Kingdom[2] and other places in Europe. It was the most successful cut from the album; the song utilizes synthesizers and dance rhythms of the time, but distinguished itself from other pop music of the era through the inclusion of Latin sounds.

The second single, "Prisoner of Love", was released exclusively to the European market. However, the song, which had a similar sound to the previous single, was a commercial failure, only reaching number #98 on the UK Singles Chart.[2] Due to the failure of "Prisoner of Love", a different single was released to the American market, "I Need a Man", but it failed to enter any major charts. "I Need Your Love" was issued as a final promo single in the Philippines, again failing to impact any chart.

Many of the songs from the album were originally written in Spanish and translated into English, including "Orange Express", which was the title track of the band's previous album A Toda Máquina, and "I Need Your Love", a translation of the song "Regresa a Mí".

Although Eyes of Innocence did not chart in any country, it has sold more than one million copies worldwide.[3]
