Hurts is a British synth-pop duo composed of singer Theo Hutchcraft and multi-instrumentalist Adam Anderson. Originally formed in 2009, Hurts combines sultry vocals, thought-provoking lyrics, and a synthesis of electronic and pop elements to create their distinctive sound. The pair first caught the public eye with their debut single "Better Than Love" and went on to release their first album "Happiness" in 2010, which boasted successful hits such as "Wonderful Life" and "Stay," quickly establishing them as a potent musical force within the genre.

Since their auspicious beginning, Hurts have maintained their presence in the evolving landscape of pop music, with several albums to their credit. The most recent releases, such as "Faith" and "Desire," epitomize the band's continual evolution of their darkly romantic and introspective sound. Amid remixes and acoustic renditions that have broadened their sonic range, tracks like "Beautiful Ones" and "Voices" have further solidified their reputation for crafting immersive and emotionally resonant music. Hurts' artistry extends beyond their studio albums to impactful live performances, like the one captured in "Live @ Deluxe Music Session," showcasing the potent combination of Hutchcraft's commanding stage presence and Anderson's creative musicianship.
