Culture Club's proudly colourful pop blazed a red, gold and green trail that many artists followed. “A Little Respect” by their '80s contemporaries Erasure adds emotional weight with R&B-rooted backing vocals, recalling “Church of the Poison Mind”. Sam Smith's wounded “Stay with Me” echoes “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?”, pairing a wrenching vocal with gently comforting soul-pop.
