@mjbjnr2009 Pretty 'bravely' asinine coming from someone who doesn't have a picture to post on their YouTube profile page: BTW: she doesn't have surgery, it's called MAKE-UP...You should 'Google' some of her recent pics; she's very normal like us all...That's kinda rude anyway man...Any my opinion: she's HOT - way better than tons of the botox/face-job egotistical women all around...Take note: EVERYONE in this video is still - NO ONE in this vid moves there face all that much...
@kingofkeyboards Agreed with your stand but listened to it and that was the first think I thought 'damn! the auto-tune sound again', I mean if it's for an effect, it's really not original nor adventurous, and it's annoying! I mean it's everywhere now, shit. Anyone else can legitimately dislike it for effect or other use imo. Here it's not that bad though but if it's all over the album, I won't buy that crap. Cheers.
I was also at their concert in Zagreb and they were amazing!'Never let me go' played live was even better than a studio version.This video is so interesting and the mirror effects are great.My suggestion to HL is that they cooperate with this filmmakers also in next projects.Dear Susan,Joanne and Phil good luck!
@kingofkeyboards It sounds to me more like a traditional Vocoder than Autotune. Either way, like the rest of Credo it sounds brilliant. All bands wish they have good material like this 30+ years after they're formed.
For me it's their best video.Idea with octopus is cool.I don't see it creepy in video than see it, for example ,as a symbol for problems in relationships between couples.Phil,Joanne and Susan don't need to feel shame or dishonour how they look now.They look great.Some people can't see Phil without beautiful black hair,but it's not all in headdress and perfect look,the most important is man's heart &soul and Phil and girls have it.I wish them ALL THE BEST in future.see you in Zagreb 12. 11. !!!
this was co-written and co-produced by I Monster? doesn't sound like their kind of schtick....at least not the fuzzy,blippy,analogue-style synonymous with their signature work. wish this had a bit of that. otherwise it sounds rather redundant. like HL recycling old sounds but nothing really that refreshing.
@kingofkeyboards trust me the league was the best in the 1980's. all this new stuff is just crap and this video sucks, its really sick and disturbing, looks more like a freakshow rather than an Art project or creative video like the original human league. i miss the 80's man, this new generation is so fucked up, too many people. too much bullshit. i miss cali in the 80's when we only had 10million people
I saw this for the first time on Friday night at their concert at the Hollywood Bowl. They opened with this song and this video. I like the song. The song is very good. The video is disturbing. I know they are trying to be memorable and unique, with vivid imaginative action, but would prefer either a story, or just straight concert footage to this.
@karelpostthuis ableton is not the culprit. when the song is mainstream boredeom it will be mainstream boredom on any daw... crap sound cannot ruin a good song and good sound cannot make a crap song good. basic recording fact.
The previous H.L. album 'Secrets' I still hear asone of the (or poss the) best ever from them; I was annoyed at the predictable lack of airplay esp. since they had a truly good (no cringe) video for 'All I Ever Wanted'. I've all their albums/now CDs except this one and Romantic?
NO MATTER WHAT YOU PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THIS SKILLFUL, BRILLIANT BAND E.G mukaikof THINKS THE HUMAN LEAGUE NOW SUCK!!!!!! NO SIR, YOU SUCK!!! PHIL, SUSAN AND JOANNE ARE ABSOLUTE LEGENDS IN MY EYES I HAVE BEEN A HUMAN LEAGUE FAN SINCE THE SOUND OF THE CROWD AND STILL FOLLOW THEIR STUFF TODAY AND I CAN TRUTHFULLY SAY WHAT A BREATH OF FRESH AIR THESE THREE ARE AND LOOK AMAZING. ROCK ON HUMAN LEAGUE FOREVER AND YOUR ALBUM CREDO WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE. LOVE YOU ALL AND SO DO MY THREE GIRLS.
yeah the human league sucks now... ever since we have jokers like lady gaga and crap come out on the market..... everyone is looking for a way to produce and make music the cheap way. come on Phil bring back the 80's human league! the original and classics are the best! this new stuff really sucks.. this is your golden years phil, enjoy it and do something great and neat. dont spend your golden years in the reakshow. because this is what it looks like! im scared to death, never do this again!
This video & the song is just too freaky for me (and I don't mean in the sexual sense.). In all of their videos, Johan & Susan looked glamourous & sophisticated. Now they look so old and torn up. I know it's been 30 years and I expect them to age but I thought they'd age gracefully. The bald look doesn't suit Phil. Unless he's going through chemo, he looks better with hair. I'm not digging their (Human League) new look and sound. Sorry.
@vxy357 LOL you are so right, but personally i liked the 80's human league much better. they were somewhat fine in the early 90's. but i dont like this new stuff. it is freaky, i thought it was a freakshow at first. the reason why i love the league is because they have been creative always like art and fashion at the sametime and very original. i dont mind if the league still makes music, but stuff like this they should just put an end to it. and i am disappointed they used autotune.
this is pretty amazing stuff and H.L arent afraid to try something new even after 30 odd yrs.thumbs up again! i saw them live twice in 2005/2006 and had the privilege of meeting them after where they signed several cds for me--im still reeling!
Well, I use autotune on some of my songs. I still have to sing in tune for it to even work. Autotune is NOT some magical thing that allows me to sing. It is a pitch correction program. Well done Antares, I love your software and so do many other artists, Steve
human league understands much more than another pop bands the POP concept...and then we find this lovely melody, cowirsted by the inspiring beautiful vid
....i just have to say "VIVA HUMAN LEAGUE FOREVER"
This is a pretty cool example of what 80s popsters "China Crisis" called "flaunt the imperfection." Are you an aging pop star with a non-perfect face and a voice that has been criticized for its flaws? Put out a song with some autotuning--turns out, your voice was just fine without it, as proven by the fact that the autotuning sounds a lot like you always did. And release a video that highlights the amazing malleability of the human face, whether it's age that morphs it, or slick effects.
@smurfblood not all kids of today by the way. I practically live off 70's and 80's electronic music including the human league. we're not all justin no balls bieber lovers.
Was at their concert in Vicker St Dublin tonight,,,,,, they ROCK the house,, and after all these years haven't missed a beat,,,,, Electro-genius,,,, bring back the 80's
They're back!! I remember when they first appeared in the 80's and they were class. Great that they're doing new stuff. Hopefully a whole new generation will check out their back catalogue too.
Just to point out the technically unaware. Autotune is just a PC version of a treatment that goes back decades and which The Human League has been using since Travelogue in 1980. The original device is called a Harmonizer and it allowed that perfectly pitched harmony backing vocal first introduced on Travelogue but which was far more extensively used by Heaven 17 particularly on The Luxury Gap.
+ “Believe” was not the 1st song to use Autotune - it was the just the 1st to ruin a song with it.
Autotune: there is nothing wrong with distorting your voice; there is something wrong when you use autotune to alter your voice to make it sound like you can actually sing. The latter does not apply here. People shouldn't just jump on the bandwagon and criticise autotune without thinking about how it is used.
@sheamie4 Exactly! It's used creatively here. Most people don't know what they are talking about with auto-tune. The parts that sound "auto-tuned" are done that way on purpose.
Sorry, I accidentally clicked on the "Thumb down" icon on your comment. I thought it was one of the others that were "dissing" autotune. Many apologies, Steve
@sheamie4 absolutely correct....human league know what they're doing when using auto tune..it's purposely done to emulate that 80's generic electronic , new wave vocal effect..and bozos who criticize them for using it obviously aren't familiar with the fact that they can actually sing without using it.. most of the morons probably think the human league are a "new" band ..lol !
@sheamie4 Good comment. The Human League have been making music for over 30 years now, so they've more than proven themselves. They're clearly using Autotune for vocal effects in this song, not to hide an inability to sing.
@y100269 Yes indeed, the first mainstream song to feature Autotune. It's so weird, I thought the fad had died around 2001 after being used by Eiffel 65 and Gigi D'Agostino yet a few years ago it began to appear on EVERY BLOODY SONG!
I know Cher's Believe was a catchy song, but for the most part Autotune reminds me of Bob Dylan's voice. That is to say, it annoys me.
OH MY GOD - SO GREAT !!! - CLASSIC HUMAN LEAGUE WITH A CLASSIC HUMAN LEAGUE SOUND WITH A TWIST - I LOVE IT !!! - DON'T EVER CHANGE YOUR SOUND OR DON'T EVER STOP MAKING MUSIC !!! - LOVE YOU GUY !!!
BY THE WAY - SOMEONE POSTED THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE AUTO TUNE , BUT I LOVED IT , BECAUSE I KNOW THE GIRLS CAN SING FOR REAL !!!! - SO AUTO TUNE ALL THE WAY, IT MAKES FOR A GREAT SOUND !!!
Thumbs up for The Human League, very good artists, more than 30 years active and rocks so good!!! The music amazing, totally 2010's music, this is now in my phone!!! This is my song for April 2011.
I think the use of the clinging octopus has to do with the words of the song "never let me go" . The song is about an attachment to a person--thus the attached octopus. I think it's clever. Not to mention, the HK had an album titled Octopus a while back. I wonder if the use of the octopus has any meaning with respect to this album.
For most of the song they have their pop genius intact...but the voice of the blond one is a bit vocodered a la Bloodshy and Avant, not sure I feel that :/
Cool video, I am a great fan of Human league and here in Brazil, unfortunately, the Credo´s album don´t arrive, but some radios plays the 80´s musics of Human League, songs like "Human" and "Don´t you want me" still play in this country
The Human League has a good musics and this songs has no expiration date.
This is brilliant. Thank god for the Human League! What would synth dance music be without them? All 3 have still got it! They look and sound awesome> I still love the girls, so hot still!
Definitely it's their best video and also they look great :)

@sheamie4 Exactly! It's used creatively here. Most people don't know what they are talking about with auto-tune. The parts that sound "auto-tuned" are done that way on purpose.

Sorry, I accidentally clicked on the "Thumb down" icon on your comment. I thought it was one of the others that were "dissing" autotune. Many apologies, Steve

@sheamie4 absolutely correct....human league know what they're doing when using auto tune..it's purposely done to emulate that 80's generic electronic , new wave vocal effect..and bozos who criticize them for using it obviously aren't familiar with the fact that they can actually sing without using it.. most of the morons probably think the human league are a "new" band ..lol !

@sheamie4 Good comment. The Human League have been making music for over 30 years now, so they've more than proven themselves. They're clearly using Autotune for vocal effects in this song, not to hide an inability to sing.

It really does sound like Client!
They really don't need to use Autotune though, it's a passing fad that will make this sound dated in a year or two.
You can't say that about Sound Of The Crowd.
But anyway, I'm really looking forward to hearing Credo. Apparently it's a fantastic album.

@Jarren202 Cher's song, Believe, was the first song to be auto-tuned and it was brilliant! And that song came out in 1998.

@y100269 Yes indeed, the first mainstream song to feature Autotune. It's so weird, I thought the fad had died around 2001 after being used by Eiffel 65 and Gigi D'Agostino yet a few years ago it began to appear on EVERY BLOODY SONG!
I know Cher's Believe was a catchy song, but for the most part Autotune reminds me of Bob Dylan's voice. That is to say, it annoys me.

I think the use of the clinging octopus has to do with the words of the song "never let me go" . The song is about an attachment to a person--thus the attached octopus. I think it's clever. Not to mention, the HK had an album titled Octopus a while back. I wonder if the use of the octopus has any meaning with respect to this album.

For most of the song they have their pop genius intact...but the voice of the blond one is a bit vocodered a la Bloodshy and Avant, not sure I feel that :/

Cool video, I am a great fan of Human league and here in Brazil, unfortunately, the Credo´s album don´t arrive, but some radios plays the 80´s musics of Human League, songs like "Human" and "Don´t you want me" still play in this country
The Human League has a good musics and this songs has no expiration date.

Not only is this a Brilliant single from the Human League;it is probably the BEST MUSIC VIDEO The Human League have EVER done.
I would go so far to say it is already (BY FAR) one of the best British Music Video promos of the year.
I have not been able to stop playing this ,it's so amazing
