Contact is the eleventh studio album by the American vocal group the Pointer Sisters, released in 1985 by RCA Records. Continuing the glossy electronic pop/R&B sound established for the group by producer Richard Perry with Break Out in 1983, Contact yielded two hit singles: "Dare Me" and "Freedom". The Latin-inflected dance song "Dare Me", with its video showing the sisters as male boxing managers, rose to number 11 on the US pop chart, and hit number 17 in the UK. The atmospheric "Freedom" missed the Top 40 at number 59 but rose to number 25 on the R&B chart in January 1986.
