Soft Cell have shared a new Christmas Mix of their 2002 track Last Chance.
Lifted from the group’s fourth album ‘Cruelty Without Beauty’, the track has been given a festive overhaul for its latest release.
According to Marc Almond, Last Chance is “the natural successor to Say Hello, Wave Goodbye and one of my preferred Soft Cell songs period,” he asks: “Why was this never a single?”
The song has been re-reworked by Dave Ball and album producer Philip Larsen, and is now adorned with a full live brass section and added Christmas sparkle.
In addition to its digital release, the single is available on CD along with ‘*Happiness Not Included’ cut Light Sleepers, which is accompanied by a music video starring ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ winner Violet Chachki.
The Last Chance (Christmas Mix) / Light Sleepers CD single is due early December available to pre-order now.
In a review of the album, Retro Pop said ‘*Happiness Not Included’ “boasts 12 fabulously Soft Cell numbers, laced with Marc Almond’s lyrical wit and underpinned by standout instrumentation from Dave Ball.”
‘*Happiness Not Included’ is available now.
