Stigma is the second studio album by English alternative band EMF, released in 1992.[1][2][3] It yielded two UK hit singles: "They’re Here" (no. 29) and "It’s You" (no. 23).[4]

The follow-up to the commercially successful Schubert Dip, Stigma failed to make the UK top 10 Album Charts (peaking at no. 19), and perhaps worse, was only in the charts for two weeks (its predecessor reached no. 3 and charted for 19 weeks).[4]

"It's You That Leaves Me Dry" was re-mixed and re-titled "It's You" for the single release.
