Different is the debut solo album by German singer Thomas Anders, who first attained success as the lead vocalist for Modern Talking in the mid-1980s. It was released in August 1989 by Teldec Records. The album was recorded in London at Alan Parsons' studio and was produced by Gus Dudgeon (Elton John) & Alan Tarney (a-ha). It features a cover of Chris Rea's Fool (If You Think It's Over). The album was re-released in 1991 by East West Records on CD.
Although the album's lead single, "Love of My Own", managed to peak at No. 24 in Germany, the album, including two more singles, "One Thing" and "Soldier", did not chart.
