The best Yazoo-Song of all and one of my favourites of the 80's.I would call it a "Dance-Synthieballad",this wonderful melancholic Melody powered by Alison Moyets emotional Soulvocal and guided by a real good rhythm.Vince Clarc is really the master of Synthiepop.

I wish I were born 30 years ago so I could be alive to see good bands be popular AND old enough to appreciate it.
The lyrics to New ...( 4 months ago by fujikochan)
The lyrics to New Life were complete and utter nonsense, lacking any meaning whatsoever. I mean, "I stand still stepping on the shady streets And I watch that man to a stranger You think you only know me when you turn on the light Now the room is lit with danger." From a purely logical standpoint: What. The. Hell. And, come on, let's not forget about "What's Your Name?" "Hey you're such a pretty boy Hey you're such a pretty boy Hey you're such a pretty boy You're so pretty P-R-E-double-T-Y"

I'm glad Alison Moyet was still in Yazoo when she made this. I think Vince Clarke's synths add the perfect touch to this song.

Gee..Alison's Voice on Vince's Synth is like fire on ice. So evocative and unique.
And I watch that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit with danger."
From a purely logical standpoint: What. The. Hell.
And, come on, let's not forget about "What's Your Name?"
"Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty P-R-E-double-T-Y"
but i LOVE yazoo.
SO much :)
They're so good,I don't want to part with them.This song is one of my favourites.
