Songs to Remember blends art-school influences, punk ethics, and pop obsession into a cohesive musical statement.
You could say that the songs on Scritti Politti's Cupid & Psyche '85 are informed by Robert Rauschenberg. You could say they interrogate the very creative act that yielded them. You could say that they rebel against the notion of private language in abstract art, taking the position that meaning can only be constructed in terms that have been agreed upon implicitly or explicitly by artist and audience alike.
