Our Take

In the grand tradition of British bands with perfectly coiffed hair and killer tunes, Spandau Ballet burst onto the scene in the 1980s with their signature mix of New Wave and pop sensibilities. With "Gold - The Best Of Spandau Ballet," they've truly encapsulated the essence of their glittering career in one shiny package. From the infectious groove of "True" to the anthemic power of "Gold," this album is a veritable treasure trove of hits that will have you tapping your foot and swaying your hips in no time. Tony Hadley's silky smooth vocals soar over the lush instrumentation, creating a sound that is both timeless and undeniably catchy. But don't be fooled by the glossy surface sheen - there's a depth and complexity to Spandau Ballet's music that sets them apart from their peers. Tracks like "Through the Barricades" and "To Cut a Long Story Short" showcase the band's songwriting prowess and emotional depth, making for a listening experience that is as fulfilling as it is fun. So whether you're a die-hard fan or a newbie to the world of Spandau Ballet, "Gold" is a must-have addition to your music collection. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to bask in the shimmering glow of one of the UK's most iconic bands.

About the artist

Spandau Ballet

Spandau Ballet, the iconic British band that defined the New Romantic movement of the 1980s, are perhaps best known for their mega-hit "True." Led by the suave and charismatic frontman Tony Hadley, this quintet of lads from London combined new wave synths with soulful vocals to create a sound that was both catchy and deeply emotional. Formed in 1979, Spandau Ballet quickly rose to fame with their stylish blend of pop melodies and dancefloor-ready beats. Their debut album, "Journeys to Glory," showcased their talent for crafting hook-laden songs with a dark edge. Songs like "To Cut a Long Story Short" and "Musclebound" established them as one of the most exciting bands of the era. But it was their second album, "Diamond," that catapulted Spandau Ballet to superstardom. The title track, "True," with its lush saxophone riff and heartfelt lyrics, became an instant classic and remains a staple of 80s playlists to this day. With its smooth groove and undeniable charm, it's no wonder that "True" is considered one of the greatest love songs of all time. Despite internal tensions and a long hiatus, Spandau Ballet have reformed and continue to perform to adoring fans around the world. Their live shows are a testament to their enduring appeal, with Tony Hadley's powerhouse vocals and the band's tight musicianship drawing in crowds of all ages. So whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying the lasting impact of Spandau Ballet on the music landscape. With their unique blend of pop sensibilities and artful experimentation, this band is truly one of a kind.
