Soft Cell could have been nothing more than a one-hit wonder after their hit "Tainted Love," the Gloria Jones cover that would accompany them throughout their career. The duo revealed, however, that they had much more to offer on their 1981 debut album Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, which included the tracks "Bedsitter" and "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye." The three Soft Cell albums released in 1981 and 1984 all reached the Top 20 in the UK. Nevertheless, Marc Almond and David Ball decided to end the band amicably in 1984. The duo reformed in the early 2000s and released the album Cruelty Without Beauty two years later, which, due to lack of success, led to a second split in 2005. But in 2018, Soft Cell once again returned to the fold with a tour, followed by the album Happiness Not Included which saw them return to the UK Top 10 and, more importantly, to a critical success not seen since the 1980s.
