Erasure is an English synth
pop duo band consisting of
keyboardist Vince Clarke and
singer Andy Bell. Erasure
entered the music scene in
1985 with their debut single
'Who Needs Love (Like That)'
They became one of the most
successful artists of the late
1980s and early 1990s. From
1986 to 1997, Erasure achieved
twenty-four consecutive Top 20
hits in the UK. By 2007, 34 of
their 40 singles have made the
Top 40, with 17 climbing into
the Top 10. Although most
popular in their native UK,
the duo has also achieved
success in Europe, the US,
Japan, and Latin America. To
date, Erasure has recorded
worldwide album sales of over
25 million. From the start,
Erasure's success was founded
upon their songwriting skills.
Vince Clarke's talent for
writing melodic and catchy pop
songs was evident from his
years with Depeche Mode and
Yazoo. As a lyricist and
melodist, the singer Andy Bell
added depth and character to
Clarke's electronic style.
'Blue Savannah' is a mid-tempo
synth pop song written by
Erasure members Vince Clarke
and Andy Bell. It has proven
to be one of the band's
signature songs and the duo
still perform it regularly in
concert. An uplifting love
song, the instrumentation is
crisp and heavily synthesized,
accented with sweeping,
programmed piano. The music
video shows Clarke and Bell
performing the song in a
large, white room, which gets
painted blue as the video
progresses. An off-camera
person holds a paint brush in
view, and the camera follows
the hand as it paints Clarke
and a shirtless Bell until
they both are completely blue.
Eventually gold-colored
leaves, similar to those
featured on the Wild! album
cover, blow in and cover the
duo as they perform. (less)
