Fuel for the Fire (Naked Eyes album)

Fuel for the Fire is the second album by British duo Naked Eyes, released in 1984. The band had top 40 success with the first single off the album, "(What) In the Name of Love", produced by Arthur Baker, which reached No. 39 in the US on the Billboard Hot 100, and in a remix by Baker, No. 35 on the Dance chart. The album peaked at No. 83 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart.

While a modest hit, it had not matched the commercial and critical success of their debut; in their home country of the UK, neither the album nor its single had charted. Baker remixed another track he had produced for the duo, "Sacrifice", but the record company never released a follow-up to the top 40 lead single and Naked Eyes disbanded following the underwhelming reception.

The album was released for the first time on CD in 2013 by Cherry Red Records.
