Class Actress – Weekend

 

Fitting, since this is after all the weekend, but that just  happens  to be coincidence  to be honest.  I some how forgot to post this track when I initially ran by it.  After all, I’ve had this thing playing on my iPod for quite sometime now.  Anyhow, this track is taken from their first full length titled,  Rapprocher (meaning “to come closer” in French), which was released in October of this year.

Bio from last.fm

Class Actress  is a    band formed in 2009 in Brooklyn, New York City, USA. The group consists of the singer-songwriter  Elizabeth Harper  and the producers Scott Rosenthal and Mark Richardson. Their music has been compared with artists like  Depeche Mode,  The Human League,  OMD  and  Madonna.

Eurythmics – Love Is A Stranger

This is electronic pop perfection.  This single was released back in 1982 on RCA records, but it was  initially  considered a flop.  It wasn’t until the bands’ break out hit “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” that the single shot up the charts, and ultimately landing on U.S. Billboard Dance/Club Play Songs Chart at the seven spot.

From Songfacts.com:

“The song was produced by Dave Stewart and Adam Williams and was self-financed at Eurythmics’ 8-track facility above a picture framing factory in Chalk Farm, London. They decided on a simpler arrangement than their previous singles emphasizing Annie’s vocals more. Said Lennox: “We did decide for ‘Love Is A Stranger’ that everything in it would be very clear. All that is there is seen to be there and nothing is hidden in a big mush of sound.” Stewart added: “Using our own eight track we hear a song millions of times and the melody in it is always apparent to us. We realized it might not be so obvious for people hearing the song for the first time.””
