Stay in Touch is the tenth studio album by a German singer Sandra, released in 2012.

Background

The album was produced by a German DJ duo Blank & Jones, and incorporated 1980s style into songs, reproducing the sound pattern of Sandra's early albums, with the track "Kings & Queens" even sampling her 1985 hit "(I'll Never Be) Maria Magdalena". It was also the first album since 1988's Into a Secret Land to feature Hubert Kemmler as a songwriter and background vocalist.

Stay in Touch was released on October 26, 2012 in both standard format and a limited deluxe 2 CD set featuring extended versions of songs. The album has received favourable response from Sandra's fans and met with moderate commercial success internationally.

Singles

"Maybe Tonight" was released as the first single in May 2012 and charted only at number 77 in Germany. The second and final single became "Infinite Kiss" in autumn 2012, but failed to chart.
