Our Take
Our Take
SCRITTI POLITTI's Cupid & Psyche 85 is a delightful kaleidoscope of synth-pop perfection. From the infectious hooks of "Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)" to the dreamy nostalgia of "The Word Girl," this album is a time capsule of the 80s at its most exuberant.
Frontman Green Gartside's angelic vocals soar over a whirlwind of electronic beats and funky basslines, creating a sound that is both ahead of its time and irresistibly catchy. Each track feels like a mini pop symphony, with layers of lush production and quirky lyrics that will make you dance and ponder life's mysteries in equal measure.
Tracks like "Absolute" and "Perfect Way" showcase Scritti Politti's ability to seamlessly blend pop sensibilities with avant-garde experimentation, resulting in a sound that is both accessible and deeply innovative. This is music that's not afraid to make you think while you shake your hips.
Listening to Cupid & Psyche 85 feels like falling down a rabbit hole into a world where the only rule is to have fun. It's a masterclass in pop perfection that still sounds fresh and exciting decades after its release. So grab your neon leg warmers, turn up the volume, and prepare to be transported to a sonic wonderland where every beat is a revelation.
