First released in 1986 · Album: Crash
Human appeared on The Human League’s 1986 album Crash. Its recording credits name Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis as producers and writers, giving the band’s electronic pop a different rhythmic and vocal setting.
The song unfolds as a slow confession, with Philip Oakey’s low lead set against higher vocal responses and a softly repeating synthesizer backing. A spoken passage changes the perspective before the refrain returns.
This page presents the studio recording. Continue through The Human League’s catalogue to compare it with the more angular electronic sound of their earlier singles.
