High-Rise is a studio album by American vocal duo Ashford & Simpson, released in 1983 on Capitol Records. [3] It was their second album for Capitol. [2]
The Virginia Pilot called High-Rise "a fine transitional record for the duo, where A&S added more dazzle and lights to their urbane sound without compromising its soulful essence." [4]
The album peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard R&B albums chart and No. 84 on the Billboard top albums chart. Three singles were released. The album's title track peaked at No. 17 on the Hot Black Singles chart, "It's Much Deeper" and "I'm Not That Tough" charted 45 and 78 respectively on the Hot Black Singles chart.
All writing by Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson.
