About this album

Dog Eat Dog is a strikingly uneasy pivot in Joni Mitchell’s catalogue, replacing confessional folk elegance with glossy 1980s electronics, pop-rock pulse and hard-edged social commentary. Released in 1985, the album was shaped with synth-heavy production and sharply written songs that took aim at media spectacle, consumerism and political complacency, while still leaving room for Mitchell’s melodic gift and restless musicianship. Tracks such as 'Good Friends', 'Ethiopia' and the title song show an artist testing new textures without losing her distinctive voice. More polarising than her classic 1970s work, it remains an important document of Mitchell adapting to a changing musical era.
