New Life
New Life
The first opening becomes a wider door.
A fragile seed, held carefully as new life begins.
Start listening closer ↓Inside the release
New Life was the band's first UK Top 40 single and its first to appear on twelve-inch. The seven-inch pairs it with Shout; the twelve-inch features New Life (Remix) and Shout (Rio Mix).
Listen closer
Listen for the way the repeating keyboard parts fit together. The energy comes from their interlocking shapes as much as from the tune being sung over them.
Another way in
Compare the seven-inch with the Remix, then move to Shout. Let the different rhythm and atmosphere challenge the idea that this period had only one mood.
