"A Cappella" is a 1985 album by Todd Rundgren. The album is one of Rundgren's most unusual in that every sound is the product of the artist's voice. Rundgren employed overdubbing techniques and an E-mu Emulator (an early sampler), electronically manipulating the sound of his voice in order to mimic conventional rock instruments, handclaps, and other sounds.cite web|url=http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=todd_rundgren|title=Todd Rundgren|accessdate=2007-07-25|last=Kopp|first=Bill|format=HTML|work=Trouser Press|publisher=Trouser Press LLC|language=English] This unique approach to music making was later explored by artists such as Mike Patton and Björk.

This album would also be Rundgren's first offical album for Warner Bros. Records, following the demise of Bearsville Records. Rhino Records would take over the rights to the album for release on CD and for online distribution.
