Scritti Politti

Scritti Politti are a British band formed in the late 1970s by singer-songwriter Green Gartside. Initially emerging from the post-punk scene, they later developed a polished, sophisticated pop sound influenced by soul, funk, and electronic music. Their album Cupid & Psyche 85 achieved major success, featuring hits like Perfect Way and Wood Beez. The band is known for thoughtful lyrics, smooth production, and Gartside’s distinctive high vocal style. Over time, Scritti Politti evolved into more of a studio-based project, maintaining a reputation for intelligent pop music and innovative blending of genres within the 1980s music landscape.
