Romantic? is an album recorded by English synthpop band The Human League. It was issued by Virgin Records in 1990 and was the band's first album of new material in four years. Romantic? had several producers, most notably Martin Rushent, who worked with the Human League on their biggest commercial success (Dare!) and had walked out of the recording sessions for its follow-up (Hysteria). Also producing several tracks is Mark Brydon, later of Moloko.
The album was not critically well received, many critics proclaiming the album's sound as "dated". The only significant success came from the album's first single "Heart Like a Wheel", which peaked at number twenty-nine in the UK singles chart and number thirty-two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The second single "Soundtrack to a Generation" charted at number 77 in the UK. As a result, the band's long-standing contract with Virgin Records was terminated.
The Human League would then move to East West Records to release their next album, 1995's Octopus.
