Can't Look Away is the fourth studio album by South African American singer-songwriter and musician Trevor Rabin, released on 10 July 1989 on Elektra Records. The album reached No. 111 on the U.S. Billboard 200 during a stay of ten weeks. "Something to Hold on To" was released as a single and reached No. 3 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, with its accompanying music video receiving a nomination for Best Video, Short Form at the 1990 Grammy Awards. In a 2004 interview, Rabin described Can't Look Away as "by far my best solo album and the one I'm happiest with." A remastered edition was released in 2011 through Voiceprint Records.
Vik Iyengar of AllMusic gave Can't Look Away three stars out of five. He praised it for having "a great sense of melody and layered guitars to create an arena rock sound", while also remarking that "Although the album loses a bit of steam in the second half, the first half includes great pop/rock tunes. ... Fans of latter-day Yes should definitely check out this album."
