Whatever You Say, Say Nothing is the fourth studio album by Scottish rock band Deacon Blue, released in 1993.[1] Changing from producer Jon Kelly to the team of Steve Osborne and Paul Oakenfold, this album presented a change in musical style for Deacon Blue. While the band's songwriting remained based in rock and blues, many of the tracks moved into alternative rock territory in their presentation.[citation needed]

The album peaked at No. 4 in the UK Albums Chart.[2]
