Mister Heartbreak is the second album by avant-garde artist, singer and composer Laurie Anderson, released in 1984. Like its predecessor, it contains reworked elements of Anderson's United States ("Langue d'Amour", "Kokuku", based on musical elements from "Rising Sun", and "Blue Lagoon").
Mister Heartbreak (LP, Album). Here, Laurie Anderson with her plexiglas violin in hand, continues her electronic saga with this incredible score. Mr. Heartbreak could be loosely considered a conceptual piece, though a string of events may be more accurate, regarding the day in a life of someone, anyone. Laurie, you, I or perhaps even the person’s vacation we read about, hastily scribbled on the back of a postcard we were to find blowing down the street. From a seemly small insignificant event, Laurie Anderson has managed to weave what would seem to be a life time of events into a musical story. The songs Sharkey’s Day.

Laurie Anderson opened her artistic window in a bright attempt to get closer to the pop formula and invited Mister Heartbreak to help her inflate her strange but captivating balloon. Or consider a donation? #32.
Mister Heartbreak is a more song based album than Anderson’s more spiky debut Big Science. The songs are lusher, while remaining minimalistic, and continuing to explore hypnotic electronic aspects. This album, like Big Science, uses material that would become part of United States Live. Mister Heartbreak Q&A. Featuring Peter Gabriel. Producers Bill Laswell, Laurie Anderson, Peter Gabriel & 1 more. Writers Laurie Anderson, Peter Gabriel & William S Burroughs. Backing Vocals Atsuko Yuma, . Nelson, Connie Harvey & 5 more.
