Mother Focus is the fifth studio album by the band Focus, released in 1975 on Atco Records. Some tracks on the album mark a departure from the progressive rock style that dominated the group's prior work, and herald a funk music style with light jazz and pop at the centre. Bassist Bert Ruiter provided most of the themes, as van Leer had just recorded a solo album, O My Love, of his own music, and Jan Akkerman withheld compositions for his forthcoming solo album Eli.

Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). Many of the mid-'70s synths utilised on the "Mother Focus" album have a cheesy sound, not a classy and tasteful sound like the earlier hit albums had. For example, the majestic strings sound of the mellotron is replaced with some very inferior synth "strings" on this album, lessening the quality of even a lyrical ballad like Paul Stoppelman's "No Hang Ups" (which is still probably the best cut on the album). The vast majority of this recording does sound like muzak.

Focus are a Dutch progressive rock band formed in Amsterdam in 1969 by keyboardist, vocalist, and flautist Thijs van Leer. The band has undergone numerous formations in its history. Since December 2016, it has comprised van Leer, drummer Pierre van der Linden, guitarist Menno Gootjes, and bassist Udo Pannekeet. Past members include guitarist Jan Akkerman, drummer Hans Cleuver and bassists Martijn Dresden, Bert Ruiter and Bobby Jacobs. They have sold one million RIAA-certified albums in the United States.
