Holy Smoke is the fourth solo studio album by English musician Peter Murphy. It was released on 14 April 1992 through Beggars Banquet Records. Produced by Mike Thorne, the album features contributions from Alison Limerick, Jonathan Carney, Audrey Riley and The Hundred Men, his backing band since 1988's Love Hysteria album.
Although the album didn't meet with the commercial success of its predecessor, Deep (1990), it peaked at number 108 on Billboard 200 chart. The lead single off the album, " The Sweetest Drop", peaked at number 2 on Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
Holy Smoke is the debut album from New Zealand pop singer Gin Wigmore. Singles released off the album included " Oh My", " I Do" and " Hey Ho". The Cardinals play on every track and backed Wigmore on her subsequent tour.
The album debuted at number one in New Zealand, and was certified Gold in its first week. The album was certified Platinum in its second week, selling over 15,000 copies. In September 2011, Home Improvement Retailer Lowe's began a new brand campaign featuring Wigmore's single "Don't Stop".
