Scritti Politti is a British band that emerged during the post-punk era of the late 1970s, and transitioned into more mainstream pop in the 1980s. The band is primarily associated with its lead singer and songwriter, Green Gartside, whose distinctive falsetto vocals and sweet pop melodies became Scritti Politti's signature sound. They are particularly noted for their 1985 album "Cupid & Psyche 85," which marked a high point in their commercial success. Scritti Politti's sophisticated blend of pop, synth, and funk has had a lasting influence on the development of British pop music.
