Speak

Speak is an album by the American musical trio the Roches, released in 1989 on MCA Records. The album contained two singles that had accompanying videos, "Big Nuthin'" and "Everyone Is Good". Another track, "Nocturne", was included in the 1988 film Crossing Delancey, which costarred Suzzy Roche. "Big Nuthin'" was a minor radio hit. The trio supported the album with a North American tour. Production The album was coproduced by the Roches; many songs were first takes. The Roches had been singing many of the songs for years, and decided to flesh them out with drum machines and synthesizers. The sisters shared in the songwriting. "Big Nuthin'" references their appearance on Saturday Night Live. The lyrics to "Cloud Dancing" were inspired by a 16th-century Chinese poet. Critical reception
