Mandatory Music and CD: Beauty and the Beat by The Go-Go's

Beauty and the Beat Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine It’s not quite right to say that the Go-Go’s' 1981 debut, Beauty and the Beat, is where new wave caught hold in the U.S., but it’s not quite wrong, either. Prior to this, there had certainly been new wave hits -- [Blondie] (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/blondie-mn0000044764) had been reaching the Top Ten for two years running -- but the Go-Go’s ushered in the era of big, bright stylish pop, spending six weeks at the top of the U.S. charts and generating two singles that defined the era: the cool groove of “Our Lips Are Sealed” and the exuberant “We Got the Beat.” So big were these two hits that they sometimes suggested that Beauty and the Beat was a hits-and-filler record, an impression escalated by the boost the Go-Go’s received from the just-launched MTV, yet that’s hardly the case. Beauty and the Beat is sharp, clever, and catchy, explicitly drawing from the well of pre- [Beatles] (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/beatles-mn0000754032) ‘60s pop -- girl group harmonies, to be sure, but surf-rock echoes throughout -- but filtering it through the nervy energy of punk. With the assistance of [Rob Freeman] (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/rob-freeman-mn0000911107) , producer [Richard Gottehrer] (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/richard-gottehrer-mn0000848871) -- a veteran of [the Strangeloves] (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-strangeloves-mn0000475209) (“I Want Candy”) who also wrote the girl group standard “My Boyfriend’s Back” -- sanded down the band’s rougher edges, keeping the emphasis on the hooks and harmonies but giving the Go-Go’s enough kick and jangle that at times the group resembles nothing less than early [R.E.M.] (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/rem-mn0000325459) , particularly on “How Much More” and “Tonite.” But this isn’t [Murmur] (https://www.allmusic.com/album/murmur-mw0000650666) ; there is nothing murky about Beauty and the Beat at all -- this is infectiously cheerful pop, so hooky it’s sometimes easy to overlook how well-written these tunes are, but it’s the sturdiness of the songs that makes Beauty and the Beat a new wave classic. ...
