Mumbo Jumbo is the seventeenth studio album by English-Australian soft rock duo Air Supply, released in 2010. Two singles from the album, "Dance with Me" and "Faith in Love", became top-30 hits on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The band's first studio record in seven years, it was the third album released on the Graham Russell label A Nice Pear/Odds On Records.
Critical reception
AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine felt the band "employs some smoke and mirrors on this album, perhaps more than any of their previous albums, dabbling with a variety of textures and rhythms." At the end of his review on this album, he called it "their most adventurous records, and one of their best works."
