Berlin is an American new wave band that rose to prominence in the early 1980s. Formed in Los Angeles in 1978, the group's best-known lineup consists of lead vocalist Terri Nunn, bassist John Crawford, and keyboardist David Diamond. Known for their synthesizer-based sound and provocative lyrics, Berlin embraced the electronic elements of new wave music, fusing them with a distinctive pop sensibility.
The band achieved major recognition with the international hit "Take My Breath Away," which became a global anthem after it was featured in the 1986 film "Top Gun." The song not only won the Academy Award for Best Original Song but also solidified Berlin's place in music history. Over the years, they have maintained a dedicated fanbase through a combination of relentless touring, release of new material, and adaptations of their classic hits for modern audiences, as evidenced by orchestral versions of tracks like "The Metro" and remixes like "Take My Breath Away (DNTST Remix)." Their recent album, "Transcendance," showcases Berlin's ability to evolve while staying true to their distinctive sound, blending classic new wave with contemporary influences.
