LIGHT AT THE END OF THE WORLD - ERASURE
Last year saw Erasure reinterpreting its own previously released material, albeit in an acoustic setting, on “Union Street.” But for 13th studio album “Light at the End of the World,” Vince Clarke and Andy Bell return to their electronic, synth-happy selves. Lead single “I Could Fall in Love With You” sets the just-right tone, with Bell belting the bittersweet lyrics, while keyboard wiz Clarke keeps the synths bright and alive. This is signature Erasure, and fans will find it pure delight. In fact, fans who have remained at Erasure’s side for the past 22 years will be unable to stand still to this primarily uptempo set, particularly beat-beautiful jams like “Golden Heart,” “Storm in a Teacup” and second single “Sunday Girl.” Erasure being Erasure, melodies and pop hooks reign supreme throughout.
