Our Take

Ah, Scritti Politti, the pioneers of the "perfect pop song." Their debut album, "Early," is a whimsical journey through the mind of frontman Green Gartside, as he effortlessly combines catchy hooks with thought-provoking lyrics.

From the infectious opening track "The Sweetest Girl," to the funky beats of "Faithless," this album is a treasure trove of earworms that will have you tapping your foot and humming along in no time.

Gartside's vocals are as smooth as silk, effortlessly gliding over the intricate melodies and funky arrangements. Each track is a masterclass in songwriting, with clever wordplay and infectious melodies that will have you hitting repeat over and over again.

The production on "Early" is top-notch, with layers of synths, drum machines, and guitars creating a rich sonic tapestry that is both retro and timeless. The production by the legendary Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley gives the album a glossy sheen that perfectly complements Gartside's heartfelt lyrics.

Overall, "Early" is a masterful debut from a band that would go on to influence generations of musicians to come. Its blend of pop sensibility, intricate songwriting, and infectious melodies make it a must-listen for any music lover. So do yourself a favor, put on your headphones, and let Scritti Politti take you on a musical journey unlike any other.
