Dare is the third studio album by synth-pop band The Human League, first released in the United Kingdom in October 1981 then subsequently in the US in mid-1982. Dare became critically acclaimed and has proved to be a genre-defining album, whose influence can be felt in many areas of pop music. The album and its four singles were large successes, particularly "Don't You Want Me". The album reached #1 on the UK Albums Chart and has been certified triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The album was recorded between March and September 1981 following the departure of founding members Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh, and saw the band shift direction from their previous avant-garde electronic style toward a more pop-friendly, commercial sound led by frontman Philip Oakey. A remix album based on Dare, Love and Dancing, was released in 1982. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
