Released in 1990, "Heartbreak Station" is the third studio album by the American rock band Cinderella. The album peaked at number 19 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum the following year. VH1 described the album's change in direction as "bluesy and powerful," a fitting summary for a project that spawned three Billboard Hot 100 singles: "Shelter Me," "Heartbreak Station," and "The More Things Change." The album marks a conscious departure from the glam metal sound that characterized "Night Songs" and "Long Cold Winter." Instead, Cinderella pursued a rawer, less polished blues approach. In an interview with the Los Angeles Daily News shortly before its release, frontman Tom Keifer explained the evolution: The band aimed for a "rougher, simpler approach," reducing reverb and overdubs to allow the songs to breathe. Keifer also noted that the blues played a significant role in shaping his songwriting during this period. Former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones arranged the string sections for two tracks, adding extra depth to the album. The band approached him after being impressed by his orchestral work for artists such as the Rolling Stones and Donovan. »Heartbreak Station« includes a lyric sheet and is available on black vinyl.
