I got this message from Paula and thought that you might like to see it. Erasure's part in the ABBA story is included in the ABBAworld exhibition that is currently on show in the UK...

"I went to the Abbaworld exhibition at Earl's Court on Tuesday and was desperate to see if Erasure had a mention and, lo and behold, there it was, up in black and white on the wall for all the world to see! I was very proud! Unfortunately, I couldn't quite get back far enough with my iPhone to get all the blurb in but you can see the important mention anyway!"

Someone very wise once said that there's no such thing as a new idea, and if we put the sleeve of the new Christina Aguilera record, 'Bionic', next to the sleeve of Erasure's 'Chorus' it would seem that they might have been right...



But it's not just us who think that, even the legendary PEREZ HILTON has picked up on the similarities on his website and it's spreading across the internet as we write!

"Connoisseurs of deluxe dance-pop, seductive electro anthems and gold-plated disco grooves - lend me your ears, Andy Bell releases a brand new album, Non-Stop, on 24th May 2010.

Non-Stop, co-produced and co-written by Andy Bell and Pascal Gabriel (S’Express, Ladyhawke, Debbie Harry, Kylie, Little Boots) is a lavish 10 track collection of exquisite dancefloor confessionals from one of the most acclaimed and beloved singers in British pop.

Non-Stop features forthcoming single Call On Me, out 10th May and Honey If You Love Him, a duet with and written by Perry Farrell (of Jane’s Addiction fame), a huge fan of Andy’s voice who suggested the alliance.

Although Andy’s long-running partnership with Vince Clarke in Erasure (recipients of Best British Group at The Brit Awards) remains very much a going concern - since the release of 1986’s debut, Wonderland the duo have gone on to sell over 20 million albums, 5 of them hitting #1 and had 17 Top 10 UK singles - the singer’s second solo album provides a liberating platform for his more clubby, nocturnal, disco-glam side. He has even purposely changed his vocal register and style for much of Non-Stop, putting clear blue water between his soulfully electronic solo voice and his gleaming, poppy Erasure work."
