Erasure’s Andy Bell has released a new song, ‘Dance For Mercy’.
It’s the third cut to be unveiled from Bell’s forthcoming solo album, Ten Crowns, after the previous release of singles ‘Don’t Cha Know’ and ‘Breaking Thru The Interstellar’. You can listen to the new song below.
Speaking about the single, Bell said: “Sometimes I wonder how many lives (God, or whatever you wanna call it) has given me: from heart attacks, to HIV, to being run over as a kid, nearly drowning in the sea and smashing over the handlebars of my bicycle into a brick wall! I have no idea why any of us are here, so it’s best just to have a bloody good dance!”
Bell worked on Ten Crowns with close friend and Grammy-winning producer Dave Audé, while Debbie Harry contributes guest vocals to one of the album’s tracks.
“This album’s about picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, embracing life – and about taking that feeling on even when you’re fighting demons in the world, like homophobia, and fighting demons in yourself,” Bell said of Ten Crowns. “It’s about being celebratory and uplifting.”
Crown Recordings will reelase Ten Crowns on May 2, 2025.
