Furthermore

Furthermore is a four-track EP released in April 2024, primarily as a bonus disc for the deluxe editions of Pet Shop Boys' fifteenth studio album, Nonetheless. Produced by James Ford, the EP features completely new studio recordings of four of the duo's most significant hits: 'Heart', 'Being Boring', 'Always on My Mind', and 'It's a Sin'. Unlike traditional 'greatest hits' packages, Furthermore represents a creative re-evaluation of these tracks, utilizing the modern production techniques and mature vocal perspectives developed over their four-decade career. The project highlights the duo's transition from the high-energy synth-pop of their youth to a more refined, house-inflected art pop style. Critical reception noted the bravery in re-recording such untouchable classics, praising the new versions for their clarity and the subtle emotional shifts in Neil Tennant's delivery. It stands as a testament to the durability of their songwriting, proving these anthems function just as effectively as contemplative electronic pieces as they did as chart-topping pop singles.
