Vince Clarke followed Depeche Mode’s Speak and Spell with another standout debut: Yazoo’s Upstairs at Eric’s. Featuring Alison Moyet’s soulful vocals and Clarke’s inventive synth work, tracks like “Don’t Go” and “Situation” became dancefloor staples. The album balances energetic hits with more experimental moments like “I Before E Except After C” and the haunting “Winter Kills,” creating a quirky, emotional, and distinctly urban soundscape.
