The Essence – Only For You – Seven Inch Vinyl Record

The Dutch group the Essence are not the Cure in disguise, nor are there Cure members in their lineup; they just sound remarkably like them. The Essence’s immediately obvious similarities with the Cure usually cause confusion whenever one of their songs is played on the radio or in a club. Frontman Hans Diener (voice, guitar, synthesizer, piano) is Robert Smith’s vocal twin, and tracks like “The Cat” and “A Mirage” duplicate the Cure’s layers of dark, swirly guitars with stunning accuracy.

Diener formed the Essence in 1984 with Jeroen ‘Jerry’ Geertsma (bass) and Olaf Willemsen (drums). The band released its debut LP, Purity, a year later. In 1987, the single “A Mirage” became a Top Ten hit in Spain, and the group toured Europe. While the Essence didn’t become as well-known as the Cure in America, albums such as A Monument of Trust and Ecstasy turned the band into cult favorites, especially among goth rock fans.

Only for You is a single by the Dutch alternative rock band The Essence. It was released in 1985 and is considered one of the band’s notable works.

The single was released in 1985, following their debut album “Purity” in 1984. Only for You continued to showcase The Essence’s alternative and new wave sound. The Essence was known for blending post-punk, new wave, and alternative rock elements. Their music often featured melodic guitar lines, atmospheric synths, and introspective lyrics.

Some notable tracks from Only for You include the title track “Only for You,” and “Jump And Fall.” The cover art typically features distinctive and artistic designs that complement the mood of the music.

The Essence may not have achieved mainstream commercial success, they gained a dedicated fan base and are appreciated in alternative music circles for their unique sound. For fans of alternative rock and post-punk, Only for You by The Essence represents a snapshot of the mid-1980s alternative music scene with its atmospheric and melodic approach.
