| | Flamboyant, openly gay Andy Bell and staid, straight Vince Clarke have been called one of the oddest couples in music, but the chemistry works for them, and they have had a long and successful career as the synth-pop band Erasure. | | | In addition to performing, Bell has written the lyrics for many of Erasure's songs, including "Hideaway," a coming-out song about a young man leaving home because he fears rejection by his family. | | | Bell's singing voice contributes to Erasure's distinctive sound. |

| | Documentary Evidence - Erasure > In_Vox feat. Andy Bell |
| | Andy here duets with In_Vox's regular singer, and by the rises and falls of the harmonies and judicious deployment of multiple 'whoa' sections (you Erasure fans will know what I mean), this sounds like an impressive remix of one of the 'clever pop' songs from Vince and Andy's eponymous Erasure album. | | | Andy's voice lends itself perfectly to -'hi-NRG' tracks, as proven by the success of some of Erasure's most commercial remixes by contemporary electronic acts. | | | About a year ago, I wondered whether a dance act would come knocking on Andy Bell's door asking him to appear on a dance record. |
