Very by Pet Shop Boys
Very is an album by Pet Shop Boys, released in 1993. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Can You Forgive Her?”, on 6 lists with a best position of #56.
Very, Pet Shop Boys' fifth studio album, came out on Parlophone on 27 September 1993, almost three years after Behaviour, and it swaps that record's hushed, moody electronics for a full-blown technicolour dance party. Stephen Hague produced, and Chris Lowe's keyboards come dressed in lush, busy arrangements that flirt with Eurodance and techno while Neil Tennant keeps his vocals wry and cool on top.
"Can You Forgive Her?" arrives with a jolt of drama, and the cover of "Go West" swells into a towering, euphoric singalong; both went top ten in the UK. The subject matter, and Tennant talking openly about being gay, long the subject of rumour, around the same time, got it tagged as their coming-out album. It remains the only Pet Shop Boys record to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart.
