List of sophisti-pop artists
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of artists retrospectively classified under the genre sophisti-pop.[1] The term has been applied to pop music that emerged during the mid-1980s in the UK[2][3] under the New Romantic and new wave movements, which incorporated elements of pop, rock, jazz, and soul.[2][4] Music so classified often made extensive use of electronic keyboards, synthesizers and polished arrangements, particularly horn sections.[2]
