Heartbreak Station, released in 1990, is the third studio album by American rock band Cinderella. The record climbed to No. 19 on the Billboard 200 and earned platinum certification the following year. VH1 described the album's shift in direction as "bluesy and brawny," a fitting summary for a project that produced three Billboard Hot 100 singles; "Shelter Me," "Heartbreak Station," and "The More Things Change." The album marked a deliberate move away from the glam-metal sound that defined Night Songs and Long Cold Winter. Instead, Cinderella embraced a rawer, more stripped-down blues approach. Speaking to the Los Angeles Daily News shortly before release, frontman Tom Keifer explained the evolution: the band aimed for a "rawer, simpler approach," reducing reverb and overdubs to let the songs breathe. Keifer also noted that blues played a major role in shaping his songwriting during this period. Adding to the album's depth, former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones arranged the string sections for two tracks. The band sought him out after being impressed by his orchestral work for artists like The Rolling Stones and Donovan. Heartbreak Station includes an insert with lyrics and is available on 180g black vinyl. 1. The More Things Change2. Love's Got Me Doin' Time3. Shelter Me4. Heartbreak Station5. Sick For The Cure6.
