Different Light is the second studio album by American pop rock band the Bangles, released on January 13, 1986, by Columbia Records.[5] The band recorded the album in 1985 with producer David Kahne.[6] Its Top 40 sound was a departure from the Bangles` earlier 1960s-style rock and roll sound. It is their most successful album, reaching number two on the Billboard 200 and producing five charting singles, including the Billboard Hot 100 top two hits `Manic Monday` and `Walk Like an Egyptian`. It is also the first album in which bassist Michael Steele sings lead vocals on some tracks.

The 2008 CD reissue on the Wounded Bird Records label (WOU 4039) adds a bonus track: `Walk Like an Egyptian (Extended Dance Mix)`.

Singles
Different Light produced five singles, the first three of which were written by someone other than the Bangles. Lead single `Manic Monday`, written by Prince under the pseudonym `Christopher`[7] in 1984 as a duet for Apollonia 6`s self-titled album, peaked at number two in the United Kingdom and the United States in 1986.[8][9] `If She Knew What She Wants`, the second single from Different Light, was recorded by Jules Shear on his 1985 album The Eternal Return. The song was written in the first person, however the Bangles rewrote the lyrics in the third person as they considered it more appropriate; their version charted at number 29 in the United States[8] and number 31 in the United Kingdom.[9] `Walk Like an Egyptian` was written by Liam Sternberg after seeing people on a ferry walking awkwardly to keep their balance as figures do in ancient Egyptian reliefs; it became one of the most successful singles by the Bangles, hitting number one in the United States,[8] Denmark,[10] and the Netherlands,[11] as well as peaking at number three in the United Kingdom.[9] `Walking Down Your Street` hit number 11 in the United States[8] and number 16 in the United Kingdom,[9] and a fifth single, `Following`, was released exclusively in the latter country, where it reached number 55.[9]

Album cover variations
The covers of most of the album`s cassette pressings and the sheet music songbook only show 12 (out of 16) of the `different` snapshots, eliminating the third column to best fit the rectangular layout of cassette cases and book.

The back cover of European-made CDs replicates the back cover of the vinyl LP edition, with all 16 snapshots and the track index at the top. The back cover of the US version, however, only shows the first column of four snapshots, with the track index list occupying the rest of the space – a rare deviation for Columbia`s CD issues during the 1980s.
