He and his brother Greg formed Hue and Cry, which emerged in the late 1980s with a sound that blended pop, jazz, and sophisticated songwriting. They first captured international attention with their debut album, Seduced and Abandoned, which produced the unforgettable hit labor of Love. Their music has always stood apart.

Thanks for having me.

Oh, it's my pleasure. I understand you're about to release a new single. Can you give our listeners a little update on the single and a little inside information on what they can expect?
B (2:13)
Well, we're promoting our new hearing Cry single Stronger, and there's an album out on March 29th and I'm having a great time chatting with people about it. It's a bit of a departure for us, so people are picking up on that. Moving into kind of, or not really moving into electronica, but recovering an electric phase of our past which we started out with and which we're kind of picking up again.

I think it's great you're staying true to your past. With that said, how have you seen yourself evolve from your humble beginnings to where you are today with your new album?
B (2:46)
Well, it's interesting. I don't think we've evolved that much at the core because we describe ourselves as post post punks, you know, so punk is three chords in the truth post punk is all the chords and all the truths. And post, post punk is how do we make a hit record out of all that authenticity and possibility. So that's the kind of principle that's kept us going for the last 40 odd years. And so we, we came back to doing this new record called Everybody and we thought, how do we. How do we. Not so much how do we revive our sound, but how do we recover our certain optimistic, futuristic vision which turns out to be exactly what people need in these slightly grim and contest of times. So we have happened to have made an optimistic electronic record, which we're very pleased about.
