EMF are a British alternative rock band from Cinderford, Gloucestershire, who came to prominence at the beginning of the 1990s. During their initial eight-year run, from 1989 to 1997, the band released three studio albums before a hiatus. Their first single, “Unbelievable”, reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart, and was a number 1 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Their debut album, Schubert Dip, went to number 3 on the UK Albums Chart. The band have split up and re-formed three times.
Stigma is the second studio album by English alternative band EMF, released in 1992. It yielded two UK hit singles: “They’re Here” (no. 29) and “It’s You” (no. 23).
The follow-up to the commercially successful Schubert Dip, Stigma failed to make the UK top 10 Album Charts (peaking at no. 19), and perhaps worse, was only in the charts for two weeks (its predecessor reached no. 3 and charted for 19 weeks).
“It’s You That Leaves Me Dry” was re-mixed and re-titled “It’s You” for the single release.
