80s Jams #39: New Order "True Faith" (1987)

A tremendous single for New Order - a brilliant standalone effort and the triumphant conclusion of the peerless singles collection Substance - "True Faith" deservedly hit the charts in America, the UK and elsewhere, a marvelous valediction for a band with a core that had stuck to its guns for ten straight years. "True Faith" resisted being conventional for all that it was poppy, catchy, a radio-friendly song with its own unexpected edge. Bernard Sumner's lyric hints at a strange desperation at play, sung with an unsure, nervous emotion. -- Allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:azfrxz80ldje
