Get in Touch with Yourself is the third studio album by the British pop group Swing Out Sister. The album was released on Fontana Records in 1992 and was produced by Paul Staveley O'Duffy.
For the recording of Get in Touch with Yourself, Swing Out Sister was composed primarily of original members Corinne Drewery on lead vocals and Andy Connell on keyboards. Both collaborated with producer O'Duffy on musical arrangements for the album. This was the first Swing Out Sister studio album to which original member Martin Jackson did not contribute, as he left the band during the recording of the Kaleidoscope World album in 1989. Luís Jardim provided percussion to many of the tracks on this album in Jackson's absence, and additional horn players and orchestration were incorporated into the production as well.
Get in Touch with Yourself combines elements of various genres of pop music, such as synthpop and sophisti-pop, while also including touches of more vintage styles such as lounge music. Other musical genres embraced by the group on this album include smooth jazz, soul and dance. Lead singer Drewery was quoted as saying that she typically enjoyed music with more of a retro feel: "I find it difficult to form opinions about a lot of modern music because my head's buried in the past. A lot of my favourite records seem to have been picked up in the discount rack at Woolworth's. I'll be quite happy if our records end up in the Woollies bargain bin in 10 years time."
In the UK, Get in Touch with Yourself was released in June 1992, and it peaked at No. 27 on the UK Albums Chart. In the US, the album's release was delayed until September 1992, and there it rose to No. 113 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
