Lloyd Cole (born 31 January 1961) is an English singer and songwriter best known for his contributions as lead singer of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions from 1984 to 1989 and his subsequent solo career.
Early life
Cole was born in Buxton, Derbyshire, England. He grew up in Chapel-en-le-Frith, then went to New Mills Grammar School in Leyland, and then attended Runshaw College. He completed a year of law at University College in London but then moved to Glasgow, where he concentrated on philosophy and English, and also met the future Commotions' students.
Personal life
In December 1989, Cole married Elizabeth Lewis, a native of the United States. They live in Easthampton, Massachusetts.
Career
Rattlesnakes, the Commotions' 1984 debut, contained literary and pop culture references to Arthur Lee, Norman Mailer, Grace Kelly, Eva Marie Saint, Simone de Beauvoir, Truman Capote, and Joan Didion. The band produced two more albums, Easy Pieces and Mainstream, before disbanding in 1989.
"Perfect Skin," "Rattlesnakes," "Forest Fire," and "I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken?" the band's songs include "Perfect Skin," "Forest Fire." "Lost Weekend" and "Jennifer She Said" are among the "Most Weekend" on "Jennifer She Said." Cole then moved to New York City and performed with many artists, including Fred Maher, Robert Quine, and Matthew Sweet.
Lloyd Cole performed two albums in 1990, preceded by the single "No Blue Skies" and Don't Get Weird on Me Babe in 1991. The latter was recorded in two parts: one team continued the New York rock of his first solo album, while the other team featured a session orchestra, much like Burt Bacharach or Scott Walker. Although he stayed with Polydor as his record label, Capitol Records' US distribution deal came to an end. (Rokodisc obtained US rights). "She's A Girl And I'm A Man" was released as a single.
"Downtown" (from Lloyd Cole, 1990) was featured in the film Bad Influence (1990) starring Rob Lowe and James Spader, while "Pay For It" (from Don't Get Weird On Me Babe, 1991) appeared on the soundtrack of When The Party's Over) starring Sandra Bullock was featured on the soundtrack.
Cole made Bad Vibes in 1993, a 1993 recording by Cole and remixer Adam Peters, who mixed a harder sound. As singles, 'So You Want to Save the World' and 'Morning Is Broken' were published.
Stephen Street (who has worked with Blur and The Smiths) and former Commotion Neil Clark were filming Love Story (1995). It resulted in a minor hit with the song "Like Lovers Do" by giving Cole a late 1990s appearance on Top of the Pops. However, following Universal Music's takeover of PolyGram, his deal was ended, despite at least two full-length recordings being held in its vaults (later published by One Little Indian). Love Story was a top-ten hit in the United Kingdom.
In 1998 Cole's "Margo's Waltz" (from 1991's Don't Get Weird On Me Babe album) was included in the film There's Something About Mary.
The collection was released in the same year as 8 songs with The Commotions and 12 solo singles were released. The album debuted at number 24 on the UK album charts, with a peak at #24.
Cole performed with The Negatives, a trademark of New York musicians, in 1997 and 1998. Jill Sobule, Dave Derby of the Dambuilders, Mike Kotch, and Rafa Maciejak, who released mainly in Western Europe and North America, were among the group's 13 members. 'Past Imperfect', 'Vin Ordinaire,' and 'No More Love Songs' returned to Lloyd's live sets regularly throughout his career.
He has since released solo albums on smaller independent labels. In the United Kingdom, Sanctuary Records released Music in a New Language (2003). The songs were largely recorded by Cole himself (including tracks that were directly onto a Mac), and they had a stark, folk-inspired singer-songwriter style. The album was released in the United States by One Little Indian, which also collected a number of outtakes (recorded from 1996 to 2000) on Etc's 2001. Plastic Wood, an instrumental ambient electronica album, was released in the same year. Lloyd has chosen Music in a Foreign Language as his favorite song. It featured new versions of Nick Cave's 'People Ain't No Good' and his own 'No More Love Songs,' which were released. Both the title track and 'Late Night, Early Town' became staples in his live sets.

The album contained 'Woman in a Bar' and 'The Young Idealists' a.o. Lloyd has regarded 'Rolodex Incident' as a personal favorite.
