ERASURE, “Love You To The Sky”
“Love You To The Sky” is the first taste of the new Erasure album World Be Gone for duo Andy Bell and Vince Clarke, the follow up to 2015’s highly successful The Velvet Flame. That album put singles “Elevation”, “Reason” and “Sacred” back into the upper-end of the dance charts, where Erasure should rightly be more than 30 years after their first hit (my first club experience with Erasure was in 1986 😀 ). Andy also has a fab thing going on in collaboration with Dave Audé – two #1 Billboard club play songs in a row.
There’s nothing particularly new about “Love You To The Sky” – it’s reliably, solid Erasure with a straight-forward positive pop song about a summer romance with Andy’s recognizable voice front and centre, and a lilting, uncomplicated-sounding synth backdrop from Vince. It’s everything you know and want from Erasure that will be a singalong by the time they tour next. You can also head over to their page on Pledge Music where they offer up some incentives to help get World Be Gone finished and released. Check out the lyric video for “Love You To The Sky” above.
