Led by Andy Bell's fearlessly emotional singing, Erasure's synthpop is emotional and earnest without ever being campy or kitschy. Vince Clarke creates a wondrous landscape of blinking synths and pulsing electronic beats. The duo embraces the liberating rhythms of dance music, but their bold emotionalism makes for something deeper and more fulfilling than mere disco. Overtly sensitive but painstakingly constructed, this playlist moves electropop out of the realm of robotic disaffection and into a place of delirious inspiration and romantic understanding.
