“Friday I’m In Love” by The Cure and “Tainted Love” by Soft Cell will be available to purchase later this week!
“Friday I’m In Love” by The Cure offers a lighthearted sound from the English band’s diverse music catalog. The Cure has sold over 30 million records, and released 13 studio albums, in addition to multiple singles and EPs. This hit song topped the US Alternative Airplay charts and made an appearance on the US Billboard Hot 100 year-end charts. The record also earned Platinum certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The playful and iconic lead guitar line is showcased on the lead instrument disc and supported by the strummed chords from the bass disc. The drums offer a dependable rock-inspired groove with handclaps laced throughout the loop for emphasis. The lead vocals tell a familiar story masterfully delivered by legendary frontman Robert Smith. This track is a must-have in your FUSER Crate.
“Tainted Love” by Soft Cell provides drama-filled lyrics and synth sounds perfectly suited for this week’s Gorgeous Gloom event. This worldwide hit occupied the number one spot in 17 countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and West Germany. The song also spent 43 weeks on the US Billboard Hot 100, breaking records at the time. “Tainted Love” was released by the English duo as a cover on their debut album Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret demonstrating their synth-pop virtuosity. Soft Cell lead vocalist Marc Almond offers an emotionally charged vocal performance on the lead vocal disc. In contrast, the lead instrument disc is full of industrial sounds. The drum pattern on this disc might be simple, but the sound will bring a snappy quality to your FUSER mixes.
“Friday I’m In Love” by The Cure and “Tainted Love” by Soft Cell will be available for purchase at $1.99 (USD or regional equivalent) each.
