"Hearts In Motion" is the ninth studio album by Australian soft rock band Air Supply released in 1986. The album was a serious step down in the band's popularity. While their previous self-titled album had charted gold, "Hearts In Motion" did not attain any certification, peaking at #86 on the US charts. The album didn't possess any important single, except for minors "Lonely Is The Night" (#85; #76 in the U.S.), which became a favourite among the band's repertoire, and "One More Chance" (#99). Although production was carried out by Clive Davis, the album was almost completely dismissed by the charts. As a consequence of the disappointment, the band would later move to Asian territories, where they would experience a popularity even higher than that which they achieved in America. The music is not as elaborate as their previous releases, relying on astonishing melodies instead of heartful arrangements.
