Scritti Politti - The Sweetest Girl
Artist: Scritti Politti
Album: Songs to Remember
Released: 1982
Scritti Politti are a British pop band, originally formed in 1977 in Leeds,
Yorkshire, England[1] by Cardiff-born singer-songwriter Green Gartside. He
is the only member of the band to have remained throughout the group's
history.[2]
Initially a left-wing-inspired post-punk British rock group, Scritti Politti
developed into a more mainstream pop music project in the early to mid-
1980s, enjoying significant success in the record charts in the UK and the
US. The group's most successful album, 1985's Cupid & Psyche 85, spawned
three UK Top 20 hits with "Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)", "Absolute
", and "The Word Girl", as well as a US Top 20 hit with "Perfect Way".
The band's 1988 album Provision was a UK Top 10 success, though it only
produced one UK Top 20 hit single ("Oh Patti"). After releasing a couple of
non-album singles in 1991, as well as a collaboration with B.E.F., Gartside
became disillusioned with the music industry and retired to south Wales for
more than seven years.[3] He returned to music-making in the late 1990s,
releasing two albums, 1999's Anomie & Bonhomie (which included various rap
and hip hop influences) and 2006's stripped-down White Bread, Black Beer
which returned to the more experimental era of the band's history.
Scritti Politti's music was characterised by sophisticated studio production
, Gartside's sly, punning wordplay and the tension between the polished pop-
funk stylings of their music and the subtle radicalism of the political and
social messages embedded in their lyrics.
