"You like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah, it's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough. You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love.."

Robert Palmer was a British singer songwriter best known for his unique blend of rock, pop, soul, and new wave styles, which earned him widespread acclaim in the 1980s.
His hit single “Addicted to Love” became an iconic anthem with its unforgettable guitar riff and the line, "Might as well face it, you’re addicted to love", amplified by a sleek, stylized music video featuring Palmer with a band of identically dressed, expressionless models.
Known for his suave image and vocal versatility, Palmer made a lasting impact on 80s pop culture before his untimely death in 2003.
