Review by Matthew Cummings

Beautiful People by Pet Shop Boys: A Dance Through Shadows and Light You know when you stumble on an album that just clicks? Like, it doesn’t try too hard but still grabs you by the feels? That’s Beautiful People for me. Released in 2009 under EMI and Parlophone (with some quirky Retro Series vibes thrown in), this record is a wild ride through synth-pop, dance-rock, and house beats. It's got layers—like peeling back pages of someone's diary, only to find glittery club lights at the end. Let’s talk tracks. First up, there’s “Beautiful People (Vinny Vero Single Mix)”. Oh man, this one hits different. The production is tight—clean enough to feel polished but raw enough to keep its soul. Neil Tennant’s vocals float over these lush synths like he’s whispering secrets right into your ear. Then comes the drop—it’s not overwhelming, more like a gentle push onto the dancefloor. And Vinny Vero? Dude knows how to remix without losing the heart of the song. This track sticks with me because it feels hopeful yet kinda bittersweet, like dancing alone in a crowded room. You’re surrounded by people, but you’re really just out there vibing with yourself. Then there’s “Fugitive (Richard X Extended Mix)”, which slaps harder than I expected. Johnny Marr’s guitar riffs sneak in here, giving it this unexpected edge. Richard X went all out on this remix—he stretched the track, added depth, made it cinematic. It’s the kind of song that makes you wanna grab someone’s hand and run until your legs give out. But beneath all the euphoria, there’s tension, like running from something—or maybe toward it. Hard to tell, but that’s what keeps me coming back. The whole album feels like a patchwork quilt stitched together from late-night drives, neon-lit streets, and moments you wish you could freeze forever. Credits go where they’re due—Dick Beetham mastering this beast, Brian Higgins programming those killer hooks, even Jeb Edwards’ artwork adds another layer of cool. And can we take a second to appreciate Angela Becker keeping the chaos organized behind the scenes? Shoutout to her! But honestly, what stays with me most isn’t just the music—it’s the mood. Listening to Beautiful People feels like flipping through old photos of parties you didn’t attend but somehow remember anyway. It’s nostalgic yet fresh, familiar yet unpredictable. And here’s the kicker: despite being released in Germany, Poland, and Ukraine, this album feels universal. Like, no matter where you are, you’d nod along to these beats. Weird flex, but true. So yeah, if you’re looking for an album that’ll make you think, dance, and maybe cry a little—all while wondering why the hell you never heard about it sooner—check out Beautiful People. Just don’t blame me if you start hearing “Up And Down” in your sleep.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The Pet Shop Boys' album *Beautiful People*, released in 2009, features a track called "Beautiful Voodoo," which is a mashup of their music with a track by the legendary electronic artist A Guy Called Gerald. This blend of styles highlights the band’s knack for experimentation. Fun fact—Johnny Marr, famed guitarist from The Smiths, also contributed to the album, adding his signature guitar vibes. It’s wild how this album mixes so many genres, from synth-pop to house, while still feeling cohesive.
