''Outlandos D'Amour'', released in 1978, is the debut studio album by English-American PostPunk[=/=]NewWaveMusic trio Music/ThePolice. Recorded intermittently over a six-month period during their studio's free time, the album marked the band's shift away from the straight PunkRock of their debut single in favor of a {{reggae}} fusion direction that would bring the band to fame. The shift came at the behest at their manager (and drummer Stewart Copeland's brother), Miles Copeland, who was harshly negative towards the early punk angle but instantly fell in love with the throwaway track "Roxanne", pushing Creator/AAndMRecords to release it as a single. While it failed to chart, A&M were nevertheless confident enough to commission a follow-up single: the result, "Can't Stand Losing You", performed much better, reaching No. 42 on the UK Singles chart and becoming the band's first technical "hit" (even if it didn't crack the top 40), leading A&M to approve the rest of the album, which by then was already finished, for a release.
