True was the third studio album by British New Romantic band Spandau Ballet, released in 1983. It was heavily influenced by jazz, soul, and R&B. It reached #1 on the UK charts and the top ten in America. The title track was a top five single in America, and in 1991 was sampled by the spiritual hip-hop act PM Dawn on their single "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss", R&B music act Lloyd Polite "You (f. Lil Wayne)", Filipino singer Arnee Hidalgo and on rapper Nelly's track "N Dey Say".
Other singles from the album included "Gold", "Lifeline", and "Communication". Later releases by the band never equalled the success of True, and they broke up six years later.
