Clues is the sixth solo album by Robert Palmer, released in 1980. It has a rockier, new wave edge compared to his previous releases. The album peaked at number 59 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart and No. 31 in the UK in 1980. The album also peaked at No. 1 in Sweden, No. 3 in France, No. 15 in the Netherlands and No. 42 in Italy.
After recording a series of albums that established him as a pop-minded interpreter of soul styles, Robert Palmer surprised fans in 1980 with the stylistic about-face of Clues. The end result became a big hit in the . and paved the way for later international successes like Riptide and Heavy Nova.

Robert Palmer entered the 80's decade on one of the creative highpoints of his career. It's a very short album-under 30 minutes in fact but so is Bob Dylan's simiarly underrated Nashville Skyline so time has nothing to do with it. Palmer really packed a punch on what time he did have on this album and had a lot of great musical ideas to put. In 1980 there were a whole lot of different genres colliding together during the music industry resession. Looking For Clues" is one of the most successful rhythmic inventions Palmer ever came up with. It's new wave,funk,ska and South African pop all rolled up into one and it was even a hit for him with the inclusion of a clever music video as well. There are some soul rockers here somewhat in the Rolling Stone's style such as "Sulky Girl","What Do You Care","Woke Up Laughing" and a cover of The Beatles "Not A Second Time".
