Riot in English is the debut studio album by American singer Dale Bozzio. It was released on March 4, 1988 by Paisley Park Records. Bozzio began working on the album after her divorce from Terry Bozzio and the break-up of their band Missing Persons. She got signed to Prince's record label Paisley Park Records and collaborated with Robert Brookins and Attala Zane Giles on the album while co-writing most of the songs. Musically, the songs took a slightly different direction than her work with Missing Persons, incorporating more dance-pop sound rather than new wave music.

AllMusic[1]

Joe Viglione from AllMusic praised Bozzio's lyrics saying that "she knows how to pull a chic cliché and envelope it" and also added that Prince gave her "the opportunity to prove she's as charming on record as she is in person and a talent in her own right apart from Missing Persons".[1]
