Philip Oakey’s voice and the group’s electronic arrangements connect a deliberately modern instrumental language with songs built around recognisable emotional situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDare makes electronic pop feel both precisely constructed and emotionally immediate, with Philip Oakey’s voice and the contrasting vocal parts creating a clear human centre.
