"Addicted to Love" is a song by Robert Palmer. It is the third song on the Riptide album. The most commonly heard version runs around four minutes, but the full album version runs a little over six minutes. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at #5 on the UK Singles Chart, and has now become known as his trademark song, thanks, in part, to a highly popular video. The song is unusual in that the intro drum solo is in the 7/4 time signature, while the remainder is in a more conventional (at least for pop music) 4/4 time signature. It was originally intended to be a duet with Chaka Khan. However, her record company at the time wouldn't grant her a release to work on Palmer's label, Island Records. Chaka Khan is still credited for the vocal arrangements in the album liner notes. The guitar part on the song is played by Andy Taylor, then a member of Duran Duran. Palmer met Taylor when they were both members of supergroup The Power Station.ROBERT PALMER - ADDICTED TO LOVE (12")
