    ''Elemental'' is the fourth album by British pop band Tears for Fears. It was released on June 22, 1993 and includes the hit single "Break It Down Again".

    It was the first new Tears For Fears album in four years, following 1989's ''The Seeds of Love'' but can technically be seen as a solo effort by Roland Orzabal, as Curt Smith had left the band at this point.
