At Eric's' was released in August '82, produced by the band and E.C. Radcliffe with assistance from Daniel Miller. The album hit the charts at Number 2, and the duo embarked upon their first national tour. Yazoo's reaction to their instant success was typically unpretentious. We're not limited to any style. Of the emotional impact carried in her songs, the singer pointed out that love was not, for her, a subject to romanticise about.
Love songs seem to be the ones that trip off our tongues.
But love's such a load of crap, it's all games and pride and ego. People always want to possess each other. By December, Yazoo were topping reader's polls and critic's lists everywhere from Smash Hits to NME, and Vince was considering a move from Basildon to Surrey. It's just a change of scenery really. Vincent and I are just basically different people, but we're very alike in a way.
