Revolution of the Heart is the eighth studio album by Howard Jones, released in 2005. This album marked a return to the electronic production that featured on Jones' early albums. Several promo singles were released - "Just Look at You Now" and "Revolution of the Heart". Notably, the album's lyrics are broadly influenced by Nichiren Buddhism, which Jones began practicing in the early 1990s. The album was released in several formats, including a limited-edition version sold through Jones' website, which sold out quickly. A double disc was released in some territories which included several remixed tracks, while the Japanese edition contained some reworked versions of old hits as bonus tracks.
