    This song is more than the hymn of the new romantics. A close look allows us to understand the beginning of projects like Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran and Culture Club, to name a few. Globally, Visage will always be associated with a short, but genuinely creative movement.

      Duran Duran were initially part of the new romantic movement and Boy George was a regular at the Blitz nightclub, where the scene began.

      If anything, what you can hear here clearly is the Ultravox era of Vienna and Rage in Eden, for obvious reasons….
