White Feathers is the debut album by English new wave band Kajagoogoo, released on 18 April 1983 by EMI Records. The album contains their most successful single, "Too Shy", a UK No. 1 hit in February 1983, as well as two other UK Top 20 hits: "Ooh to Be Ah" and "Hang on Now".
White Feathers was produced by Nick Rhodes, of Duran Duran, and Colin Thurston, who was Duran Duran's producer at the time. The sole exception is the self-titled instrumental track ""Kajagoogoo", produced by Tim Palmer and the band. This track song was featured as the opening title song in the 1984 John Hughes movie Sixteen Candles.
After the band was featured on the VH1 program Bands Reunited in 2003, renewed interest in Kajagoogoo prompted the band's original label EMI to re-issue White Feathers on CD in the UK for the first time in 2004 (although it had been available on CD in Japan and the U.S. since 1993). Originally containing 10 tracks, the 2004 version of the album contained eight bonus tracks, including four B-sides and four remixes, two of which are of "Too Shy" (both an extended and instrumental version).
