Albums We Are Looking Forward To in 2022
Soft Cell – legendary frontman Marc Almond and producer/instrumentalist Dave Ball – return with their fifth studio album and first in 20 years, ‘*Happiness Not Included’, to be released in Spring 2022. It represents their first new album since they issued ‘Cruelty Without Beauty’ back in 2002. ‘*Happiness Not Included’ will be available on CD, limited edition yellow vinyl and digitally.
7th July 1981 Soft Cell released their cover of the northern soul classic ‘Tainted Love’ written by Ed Cobb and originally sung by Gloria Jones. Soft Cell’s version went on to be best-selling single of 1981 in the UK and spent a then-record-breaking 43 weeks in the US chart. It has since been voted 5th in VH1’s 100 Greatest Number 1s of the 1980s, with over 750m global streams to date, sampled on hit songs such as ‘SOS’ by Rihanna (108M Spotify streams) and Synced in feature films including ‘La La Land’, ‘Pride’, ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’, ‘Bruno’, ‘13 Going On 30’, ‘Sleepers’ and hit TV shows including ‘Friends’, ‘The Office’ (UK), ‘This Is England’, ‘Ashes to Ashes’, ‘Eastenders’ & ‘Coronation Street’.
