"Primitive Love" is the 9th studio album released by the Miami Sound Machine, and their second English language studio album. It was released in 1985 (see 1985 in music).

Album history

This album was a follow-up to the band's previous releases in every sense; in the music, in rhythms and in Gloria Estefan's vocals. Previous releases by Miami Sound Machine had failed to achieve much in the way of crossover success. However, with the release of "Primitive Love" in 1985, their distinctive sound was finally being heard by a wider audience, both in the United States and abroad.

This album was the band's first appearance on the American albums chart, reaching #23 on the Billboard 200. The album ended the year on the 1986 Billboard Year End Charts at number ten [http://www.geocities.com/geprimitivelove/primitivelove.html Primitive Love (1985) ] ] .

All the singles released from this album reached the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart: "Conga" peaked at #10; "Bad Boy" reached #8; "Words Get in the Way" was the highest-charting single from this album, at #5; and "Falling in Love (Uh-Oh)" climbed to #25. .

As of 2008, the album has sold over 5 million copies world wide.
