===''Heart Like a Sky''=== After a hiatus from recording, the band released their next album, ''[[Heart Like a Sky]]'', initially titled ''Home'', in September 1989. For the first time, new working methods were employed, as Gary Kemp demoed his new songs programming the drums, keyboards and bass on a porta-studio with Toby Chapman, Spandau's session keyboard player, rather than rehearsing with the band.<ref>{{Cite book|title=I Know This Much From Soho To Spandau|last=Kemp|first=Gary|publisher=Fourth Estate|year=2009|isbn=978-0-00-732330-2|pages=256β257}}</ref> The album and its singles were not successful in the UK<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/18710/spandau-ballet/|title = Spandau Ballet | full Official Chart History | Official Charts Company|website = [[Official Charts Company|Official Charts]]}}</ref> and the album was not released in the United States. Nevertheless, the band continued to have success in Germany, Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands, where the singles "[[Raw (song)|Raw]]" and "[[Be Free with Your Love]]" entered the top 40.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dutchcharts.nl/showitem.asp?interpret=Spandau+Ballet&titel=Raw&cat=s|title=Spandau Ballet β Raw|author=Steffen Hung|publisher=dutchcharts.nl|access-date=20 October 2011}}</ref> The album included "Motivator", the first song written by Steve Norman for the band since The Makers.
