Our Take

Soft Cell's latest album "Mutants In Hollywood" is a wild ride through the glitzy, glamorous world of Tinseltown, with a dark, synth-pop twist that only this iconic duo could deliver. From the opening track "Hollywood Boulevard Blues," you're transported to a neon-soaked dreamscape where the lines between reality and fantasy blur.

Lead singer Marc Almond's haunting vocals are as captivating as ever, effortlessly shifting between seductive crooning and anguished cries. And Dave Ball's shimmering synths provide the perfect backdrop for Almond's lyrical exploration of love, fame, and the seedy underbelly of Hollywood.

Tracks like "Starlet Syndrome" and "Paparazzi Promenade" delve into the darker side of celebrity culture, while "Sunset Strip Serenade" offers a more introspective look at the price of fame. But it's not all doom and gloom – tracks like "Glamour Ghoul" and "Neon Nights" bring a playful, campy edge to the album that will have you dancing in your seat.

Overall, "Mutants In Hollywood" is a bold, unapologetic statement from Soft Cell, proving that even after all these years, they still have plenty to say – and plenty of infectious hooks to say it with. So grab your sunglasses, turn up the volume, and let Soft Cell take you on a wild ride through the twisted world of Tinseltown.

About the artist

Soft Cell

Soft Cell: Synth-Pop Pioneers and the Masters of Electro-Clash Soft Cell, formed in 1977, is a duo that can be best described as a musical rollercoaster ride through the neon-lit streets of 80s Soho. With Marc Almond's unique vocals and Dave Ball's innovative synth work, the duo quickly rose to fame with their chart-topping hit "Tainted Love." But Soft Cell is not just a one-hit wonder. Their music delves into darker corners of human emotion, with tracks like "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" and "Sex Dwarf" exuding a raw, unapologetic energy that is both captivating and controversial. Their sound can be best described as a mix of new wave, synth-pop, and electronica, with hints of punk and avant-garde thrown in for good measure. It's a heady blend that defies categorization, much like the band themselves. With a career spanning over four decades, Soft Cell has left an indelible mark on the music industry, influencing countless artists in the process. Their ability to seamlessly blend catchy pop hooks with an edgy, underground sensibility is a testament to their enduring appeal. Soft Cell's live performances are not to be missed, with Almond's theatrical stage presence and Ball's masterful command of the synths creating a mesmerising experience that will leave you breathless. So grab your leather jacket, tease your hair, and get ready to dance the night away with Soft Cell. Trust us, you won't regret it.
