Remain in Light was recorded at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas, and produced by Brian Eno, a renowned musician and producer who had previously worked with David Byrne and the band on their 1979 album, 77. The album's sessions were marked by experimentation, collaboration, and innovation. Byrne, along with bandmates Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison, pushed the boundaries of art rock, new wave, and funk.
