Our Take

Prepare to be transported back to the 80s with SPANDAU BALLET's Gold: The Best Of, a greatest hits compilation that is as shiny and glorious as its title suggests. This album is a goldmine of hits, showcasing the band's signature blend of new wave, pop, and soul.

From the infectious rhythms of "True" to the irresistible hooks of "Gold," SPANDAU BALLET proves why they were one of the most iconic bands of the era. Frontman Tony Hadley's smooth vocals soar over lush synths and groovy basslines, creating a sound that is both timeless and instantly recognizable.

Tracks like "Only When You Leave" and "Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On)" will have you dancing around your living room, while ballads like "Through the Barricades" and "I'll Fly for You" showcase the band's emotional depth and musical versatility.

But it's not all glitter and glam on Gold. The album also includes lesser-known gems like "Communication" and "Highly Strung," proving that SPANDAU BALLET's talent goes beyond their biggest hits.

So whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, Gold: The Best Of is a must-have addition to your music collection. Get ready to relive the magic of SPANDAU BALLET and bask in the golden glow of their greatest hits.

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.
