Soft Cell release first new song in 15 years: ‘Northern Lights’
Soft Cell have just released their first new song in 15 years, the (rather delicious) electropop track “Northern Lights”. The release comes as the duo is preparing for a farewell concert at the O2 Arena, London, on 30 September. You can check out the song in a radio edit below.
“Northern Lights”, along with another new track, “Guilty (Cos I Say You Are)”, will be on the band’s compilation album, “The Singles – Keychains and Snowstorms” which will be released on 28 September.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void.
