Style is the ninth album by the funk/R&B band Cameo, released in 1983. It was their first album to introduce their "Atlanta Artists" label, with which they maintained their distribution through Polygram Records. Aside from the new label, Cameo was definitely going through quite a transition, having gone from 5 members (Alligator Woman, 1982) to 4, and an extreme makeover in their sound. Their former big funk band sound was now being replaced by all the elements of the electronic age (i.e., keyboards, synthesizers, and Simmons drums). Their music was self-proclaimed "21st Century Bebop" and the band prided themselves for the use of non-conventional drums.
