Pop

1987年のアルバム『Actually』収録。60年代を象徴するソウル・シンガー、ダスティ・スプリングフィールドをゲストに迎え、彼女のキャリアを劇的に復活させた歴史的共演作。

軽快なドラム・マシンと重厚なオーケストラル・ヒットが交錯する、スタイリッシュなダンス・ポップ。ニールの抑えたヴォーカルと、ダスティのソウルフルで切実な歌声のコントラストが圧倒的な魅力を放つ。

恋愛や仕事における報われない努力や虚無感を、「一体私が何をしたというの？（What have I done to deserve this?）」と問いかけるシニカルな歌詞。ポップ・ミュージックにおけるデュエットのあり方を再定義した名曲。
