Berlin is an American new wave/synth-pop band formed in Los Angeles in 1978. The band's original lineup consisted of singer Terri Nunn, bass guitarist and vocalist John Crawford, keyboardist David Diamond, guitarist Ric Olsen, keyboardist Matt Reid, and drummer Rob Brill. They gained commercial success in the 1980s with singles including "The Metro", "Sex (I'm a ...)", "No More Words", and the chart-topping "Take My Breath Away" from the 1986 film Top Gun.

The band's debut album, Pleasure Victim, was released in 1982 and reached gold status, thanks in part to the hit single "Sex (I'm A...)". Their follow-up album, Love Life, was released in 1984 and featured the lineup of Brill, Nunn, and Crawford. The album included the single "No More Words", which became a hit for the band. However, the band's success was short-lived, and they disbanded shortly after reaching global success.

In the 2000s, Berlin reformed and began performing and recording again. The band released several albums, including Berlin Live: Sacred and Profane in 2000 and Voyeur in 2001. They also contributed to several tribute albums, covering songs by artists such as Marilyn Manson, Madonna, Blondie, and Depeche Mode. In 2004, the band was featured on the VH1 show "Bands Reunited", where they agreed to reunite and play a one-off show at The Roxy in California.

In the 2010s, Berlin continued to tour and record, with Terri Nunn leading the band. They released the album Animal in 2013, which included the single "It's The Way". The band also announced plans to release a new album in 2017, with the original members reunited. However, the album's title and release date were not officially confirmed. Instead, the band released the album Transcendance in 2019, which was followed by the album Strings Attached in 2020, which featured re-recordings of previous songs backed by a full orchestra.

Berlin has undergone several lineup changes over the years, with Terri Nunn being the constant lead vocalist. The band has also been involved in several controversies, including a dispute over the destruction of their material in the 2008 Universal fire. However, it was later revealed that the band's album masters were safe, and Universal located several unreleased tracks from the 1980s.

As of 2025, Berlin continues to perform and record, with Terri Nunn at the helm. The band's music has had a lasting impact on the new wave and synth-pop genres, and they remain a beloved and influential band among fans of 1980s music. Despite the controversies and lineup changes, Berlin's legacy as a pioneering synth-pop band remains intact, and their music continues to be enjoyed by new generations of fans.

In recent years, Terri Nunn has also performed as a solo act, including a notable appearance at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago New Year's Eve Party in 2020. However, Nunn later expressed regret for participating in the event, citing concerns over COVID-19 safety protocols and a lack of awareness about the event's political implications. Despite this controversy, Nunn and Berlin remain committed to creating and performing music, with a dedicated fan base and a lasting impact on the music industry.
