Black Light is the sixth studio album by English electronic duo Groove Armada. It combines the more mainstream-oriented sound of its predecessor, Soundboy Rock, with the rock spirit of Lovebox, and the band makes use of 1980s synthesisers for the first time. The album is influenced by David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Gary Numan, New Order and Roxy Music.
The vocal collaborations on the album include Bryan Ferry, Fenech-Soler, Jess Larrabee, Nick Littlemore, Saint Saviour and Will Young.
Black Light received a nomination for the 53rd Grammy Awards in the category Best Electronic/Dance Album. The song "Paper Romance" is in the soundtrack for the video game FIFA 11.
