Sur la Mer is the thirteenth album by The Moody Blues. It was released in 1988.[3] It features the hit single "I Know You're Out There Somewhere", a sequel to their 1986 hit "Your Wildest Dreams".[4] Much of the music on the album would fit in the "synthpop" genre, though it does bear more rock and acoustic influences than its predecessor.
