Neil's vocals in Break 4 Love

#1 Post by Jareth »

Does anyone else think this song has some of the strongest vocals Neil's done? I only heard it for the first time today and I'm very impressed.

Like It's Alright, they should never have gone there.
Classics of the dance world which shouldn't be covered.

Whilst it would be impossible to better the original the Laroz and Amdursky mix is simply brilliant.
Hello my name is Neil Tennant and I'm Chris Lowe and we're of the Pet Shop Boys.

Didn't Chris actually say something along these lines? I think he described Neil's vocal on this song as a "Grammy-winning performance" or similar.

I've always really loved Break 4 Love and think it would have been a good single.
Passion, love, sex, money, violence, religion, injustice and death. More on that story later.

I think the guy that did the chill mix made his vocals sound even better.

sometimes neil does a song and its just in the perfect key for him and you can really tell the difference.

I think we're the petshop boys also is an awesome vocals. so strong and upfront.
