Communiqué is the second studio album by British rock band Dire Straits, released on June 15, 1979. The album was a commercial success, reaching number one in several countries, including New Zealand and Norway.
The album features a mix of rock and blues music with Mark Knopfler's signature guitar style and lyrics. The songs on the album cover a range of topics, including love, heartbreak, and social commentary.
The album's lead single, "Lady Writer," was a moderate hit, reaching number 45 on the UK singles chart. Other popular songs from the album include "Once Upon a Time in the West," "News," and "Where Do You Think You're Going?"
"Communiqué" was generally well-received by critics, who praised the album's musicianship and Mark Knopfler's guitar work. However, some critics felt that the album lacked the originality and impact of the band's debut album.
