Tropical Nights (album)

Tropical Nights is the eighth studio album by American singer and actress Liza Minnelli, released by Columbia Records in 1977. At the time of its release, disco music was the most played musical style on the radio. In this context, it was decided that the style would be adopted by the singer, who was already known for numerous changes in her music.

The release followed the success of the soundtracks for Liza with a Z and Cabaret, and it marks her first studio album since The Singer (1973). Due to her prior involvement in the musical film New York, New York and the Broadway play The Act, the opportunity to promote Tropical Nights was compromised.

The reception from the music critics was favorable, with many praising the singer's performance and vocals, while others found the repertoire confusing and lacking identity. Commercially, the album appeared for four weeks on the list of the top 200 best-selling albums in the Record World magazine.
