Wings of Tomorrow is the second studio album by the Swedish band Europe , released in 1984 .
background
Europe had released their self-titled debut album in 1983 after the group won a record deal with the Swedish label Hot Records by participating in a talent competition . Europe reached number eight in the Swedish charts, and the single Seven Doors Hotel was released. The group toured through Scandinavia and Japan before starting work on their second album.
Wings of Tomorrow was recorded at Polar Studios in Stockholm and by Leif Mases produced . The album was released on March 6, 1984, as singles the tracks Lyin 'Eyes, Dreamer, Stormwind and Dance the Night Away were released, but they could not record any chart success.
