Erasure - Fill Us With Fire

Just like its predecessor Be With You, Fill Us With Fire is classic Erasure - everything that makes their emotion-suffused brand of synth-pop so enchanting. So while Germany get disco romp A Whole Lotta Love Run Riot, the UK is set to receive the more reflective refrains of this lovely little number as the next single from the duo's album.

While less representative of the Frankmusik production of its parent album, Fill Us With Fire's strength is its contentedness to do what all the best Erasure tracks do - resting on an incredibly deft command of melody and an impassioned Andy Bell vocal. It makes you want to go back an relive their tour all over again - to lose yourself in the 'Erasure world' that keeps us coming back for more delicacies like this.

Fill Us With Fire is released on the 12th March.

Erasure - A Whole Lotta Love Run Riot

When I first listened to Erasure's Tomorrow's World album, A Whole Lotta Love Run Riot was the track that instantly stood out, a full-on dance banger as glamtastic as any of their past greats. It also felt like the song most thoroughly representative of the working relationship between the duo and Frankmusik - a glossy, intensely modern take on Erasure's synth-pop, remodelling them into a heavily produced, more digital-sounding outfit.

For me, part of Erasure's enduring appeal has been the slightly rubbery nature of their largely analogue tracks, but as a standalone piece, A Whole Lotta Love Run Riot and its parent album by extension represent an exciting, contemporary evolution of Erasure. A sort of Transformers 3D switch-up for them then. And here, the formula undoubtedly works - A Whole Lotta Love Run Riot is everything you want from an up-tempo Erasure club-stormer. Friday nights out on the town pumped through the synth-pop machine; letting loose in careless abandon of love and, well... love.
