About this album
Where they were
In 2010, Andy Bell was at a transitional point in his solo career, having released his debut album 'The Art of Dying' in 2005. 'Non-Stop' marked his second studio effort, showcasing his evolution as a solo artist while distancing himself from the shadow of his work with Erasure. The album highlighted his commitment to personal expression through pop music.
Why it matters
'Non-Stop' received positive reviews for its catchy hooks and production quality, establishing Bell's distinct voice in the pop genre. The album's lead single 'Call On Me' became a notable club hit, charting well in the UK and contributing to the revival of interest in synth-driven pop during the late 2000s.
