The Profile

The Communards were a British pop duo formed by Jimmy Somerville and Richard Coles in 1985, active until 1988, known for blending synthpop, disco and soul and for the hit "Don't Leave Me This Way".

Jimmy Somerville previously fronted Bronski Beat; the duo combined dance-pop arrangements with politically charged lyrics and LGBTQ+ themes.

A positive, affectionate review of The Communards' debut album highlighting Jimmy Somerville's falsetto, political lyricism and genre-mixing (disco, R&B, jazz). The album is recommended as a warm, winter listen and a rediscovery.
