Electric Fire is the fourth solo album by Roger Taylor (of the band Queen), released in 1998. It features a cover of John Lennon's song "Working Class Hero".The album came not long before Taylor's performance at Cyber Barn in the same year. Following the gloomy album Happiness?, Electric Fire also included gloomy elements but was, on the whole, a bit more bright.

Two singles from the album, "Pressure On" and "Surrender" charted on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 45 and 38 respectively.^[1]
