Editorial Reviews

From the Artist

Vince Clarke said the following about the "I COULD FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU" single: "I started searching for classic funk or disco basslines, put some ideas together with chord changes and basslines underneath, and emailed them to Andy for him to sing over the top. The song, like this album, is quite 'up' and uptempo because we're both in good spaces right now."

Product Description

"I Could Fall In Love With You" is the first single from the highly anticipated LIGHT AT THE END OF THE WORLD, Erasure's new studio album out May 22, 2007.

5.0 out of 5 stars They've Still Got It....., May 9, 2007

What can I say? "I Could Fall in Love With You" is the kind of giddy, up-beat, care-free music that caused me to fall in love with the music of Erasure 20 years ago. But the really cool part is that the technical quality of this new single is, as usual, slightly ahead of contemporary. Electronica has come along way since "Speak and Spell" and "Wonderland", and with the notable exception of "Loveboat", Vince has always been ahead of the rest. Furthermore, in my humble opinion, Andy's vocals have never been more energetic. I'm counting the days until I receive the complete album, and I'm looking forward to more remixes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Back to the dancefloor, April 4, 2007

Closer to 3.5 stars for me, really. With this release, Erasure comes storming back onto the dancefloor. For me the album version stands out clearly above the rest--there are a lot of things I like about it. I really like the fact that after the intro, the verse is accentuated by keeping the beat out and the accompaniment minimal--Andy's voice sounds so beautiful on the descending line (i.e. never do what I am told to). The little Vince squigglies do seem a bit out of place here, but that's a minor concern for me.

Next, I love the tugging of the beat as it kicks in and propels the song forward. The beat and bass synth are a better rhythm team than on the remixes. I love the instrumentation on the rest of the track, e.g. the doubling of some of the synth lines. There is one synth line that sounds like a rearranged version of the opening synth line of "Don't Go"--which I think is a fun nod to the past.

Where I think it begins to fall apart is with all the lyrical and melodic repetition. I am already getting tired of this tune after a week. For me, it ranks below all three (or four, counting ATTSFOOL) "Nightbird" singles. It is an immediate attention-grabber, but perhaps too familiar sounding to become one of the all-time classics.

That said, the remixes are both very good, and should sound great in the clubs. It just doesn't measure up so well with their astounding catalog.

I love the new song! The mixes are just as good, if not a little better than the album version. The album mix is pure classic Erasure stuff, and if you love Erasure you will be so glad! I am eagerly awaiting the new full length cd in May!
