The result of those sessions, "Device", is scheduled for release on April 9, 2013. The first single "Vilify" was released to radio ahead of the album on February 19, 2013.

It produced a Top 40 single in the U.S. with Hanging On a Heart Attack, which peaked at #35. The band's second single Who Says peaked at #79. Both of these songs were promoted by music videos which garnered MTV rotation and both were released as 12" singles with remix and dub versions which received club play. A third and final single When Love is Good was released while the album peaked at #73 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. Mike Chapman produced the album.
After their split in 1987 Knight went on with her solo project, whilst successfully writing songs for celebrated artists, while Engemann joined Animotion as their new male lead vocalist.

Who Says
Device Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the Hair stands up on the back of my neck
Oh yeah it's in my Hand and we shouldn't stop
But before I took the last shot something in my Head went to...
It doesn't matter what you say
How can you hope to hide away
Weren't we looking for the same Thing?....
Who,who,who says it's not that easy to...walk away...from you
And if we take this Temporary tumble in the Dark
Don't reach for the Hammer,don't hit me in the Heart
Breathe deep like a Beast when you're rockin' my device
Set loose like an Animal... just another sacrifice
Then you ran wild through the Streets with your Wheels on Fire
And the last Thing you needed was to see me turn around
And say, 'no!'
It doesn't matter what you say
How can you hope to hide away
Weren't we looking for the same thing?...
Who,who,who says it's not that easy to walk away from you
Who,who,who,says it's not that easyto...walkaway...from you
(watch me walk...)
It doesn't matter what you say
How can you hope to hide away
Weren't we looking for the same thing?...
Who,who,who says it's not that easy to walk away from you
Who,who,who says it's not that easy to...walk away... from you...
The lyrics of Device's song "Who Says" speak about the struggle of wanting to maintain a temporary physical connection with someone while also trying to resist deeper emotional attachment. The singer describes a situation where they are physically attracted to someone, but before taking the last shot (presumably of alcohol), they have a moment of clarity where they realize that they shouldn't continue down that path. The lyrics imply that there is a deeper understanding between the two parties, where they both know that what they are engaging in is not meaningful or long-lasting, yet they struggle to stay away from each other.
The chorus of the song repeatedly asks "Who says it's not that easy to walk away from you?" which could be interpreted as a plea from the singer to their own self or to the other person. The use of animalistic imagery and metaphor emphasizes the passion and intensity of the encounter but also highlights the instinctual and almost primal nature of their connection. The song's ending suggests that despite their physical attraction, a deeper emotional connection would be harmful to both parties.

+Holly Knight We used to listen to your album while driving on vacation from Texas to Colorado. The songs are so great. I never understood why many of these didn't make it to the top. I think it must have been lack of exposure. It certainly wasn't lack of talent. They are timeless. Still great to listen to 30 years later.
Enrique Mahecha

Damn, I didn't realize that this was Holly Knight, she's a heavy hitter in the songwriting department, and she's hella gorgeous. I wish this band would've got more airplay.

22B3 is the best album. Holly, Paul & Gene should reunite for a show. Play the whole album in it's entirety.

I have 3 copies of the album on vinyl. It's my favorite of all time.
