"Passionworks" is the seventh album released by the hard rock band Heart, in 1983. The album marks a shift in musical direction from hard rock to power ballads. This album spent twenty-one weeks on the U.S. Billboard 200 and reached the number thirty-nine spot. It turned out to be the band's final album with Epic Records, before their comeback-fueled move to Capitol Records.
