'''''No Parlez''''' is the debut solo studio album by English singer Paul Young. Released in 1983, it reached number one on the UK Albums Chart (for a non-consecutive total of 5 weeks) and remained in the UK Top 100 for 119 weeks.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/|title=The Official Charts|website=Official Charts|access-date=25 November 2025}}</ref> The album has been certified quadruple platinum by the BPI for UK sales in excess of 1.2 million copies.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bpi.co.uk/certifiedawards/search.aspx|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090924015932/http://www.bpi.co.uk/certifiedawards/search.aspx|url-status=dead|title=Certified Awards|archive-date=24 September 2009|website=Bpi.co.uk|access-date=25 November 2025}}</ref>

==Release== Initially, the first two singles, "Iron Out the Rough Spots" and a remake of "Love of the Common People", had no success, but the third, a cover of the Marvin Gaye song "Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)", was No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in July and August 1983, and the first of Young's 14 UK Top 40 singles. Similar success followed in continental Europe. In the UK, the follow-up single "Come Back and Stay" reached No. 4, and the re-release of "Love of the Common People" made it to No. 2 in late 1983.

The album was released the year after the introduction of CDs with their potential for a longer playing time. The CD edition of ''No Parlez'' featured one extra track ("Behind Your Smile") not on the vinyl release. Additionally, five of the other 11 tracks were extended versions compared to the vinyl edition.

The album featured eight cover versions alongside two tracks written by Young and keyboard player Ian Kewley and one written by the guitarist in Young's band at the time, Steve Bolton. Three of the cover versions were written by Jack Lee who also wrote "Hanging on the Telephone" which was a big hit for Blondie.

The album was released with a different cover with two tracks ("Come Back and Stay" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart") shorter in length in North America,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/release/1628579-Paul-Young-No-Parlez|title=Paul Young - No Parlez|date=25 November 1983|access-date=25 November 2025|website=Discogs.com}}</ref> and a new video for the single "Come Back and Stay" was made.

Writing for ''Sounds'', Garry Bushell called Young "a real prospect" and ''No Parlez'' "a creditable collection and a worthy launching pad" whose "well-varied contents prove he doesn't want to get stuck in any 'revivalist' rut."<ref name="Bushell"/> Claire Sheaff of ''Smash Hits'' commented that although Young's "velvet voice" rarely "seems to take off" on the album, she was hopeful "that this pop star will mature into a fully-fledged soul man. The potential is there."<ref name="Sheaff"/>

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Dave Thompson deemed ''No Parlez'' "one of the most assured debut albums of the mid-'80s, and one of the finest pop-soul confections of all time".<ref name="Thompson"/>

It contains the original 11 tracks as well as a bonus 10-track disc with a combination of B-sides, remixes and live tracks. Although the booklet claims that this is the original vinyl album on CD, three songs are shortened from their UK vinyl release; "Come Back and Stay", "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and "Love of the Common People", all of which use the respective single edits found on the original US and Canadian pressings of the album. The original UK vinyl versions of these tracks remain unreleased on CD.

The Extended Club mixes of "Wherever I Lay My Hat" and "Sex", the full version of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and the Scratch Mix of "Come Back and Stay", which were all included on the original CD and cassette release, were not included on the 25th anniversary edition. However, In 2013 they were all included on the compilation album ''Remixes and Rarities''.
