Originally conceived as a solo project for Andy Bell, Other People's Songs became ERASURE's 10th studio album when Vince Clarke joined him. Vince and Andy chose songs that influenced them as musicians, and this album ultimately contains music from various artists such as Buddy Holly (True Love Ways), Peter Gabriel (Solsbury Hill), The Righteous Brothers (You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin), and Buggles (Video Killed The Radio Star). This eclectic mix of sounds is brought together coherently, thanks to Vince's arrangements and Andy Bell's perfect voice. Produced by Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Wire) and ERASURE, this album reached the top 20 in England and Germany upon its release in 2003.
