About this album

Sinful is Pete Wylie’s sharpest solo statement, where his knack for pointed lyrics meets the brighter, machine-driven polish of late-1980s synth-pop. Released in 1987, the album reflects Wylie’s move away from guitar-based post-punk into more electronic territory, while still keeping the bite and sense of social commentary that marked his earlier work. The title track and songs such as Shoulder To Shoulder and Break Out The Banners show his ability to turn slogan, melody and attitude into something both combative and memorable. It stands as one of the more distinctive British pop records of its era, balancing ambition, wit and commercial hooks.
