Scarlet Fantastic were a British pop band active in the 1980s, consisting of Maggie K. De Monde[1] and Rick P. Jones. The duo were former members of pop trio Swans Way, who had a hit with "Soul Train" in 1984.[2] Scarlet Fantastic reached the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart only once, with October 1987 single "No Memory", a song which would become popular a few years later on the rave and Ibiza dance music scenes.[3]
Since No Memory was a hit, De Monde has performed with her band The Mighty K,[4] released the album Union as part of the duo Maggie & Martin, and has made guest appearances on various projects including Empire State Human and glean.[5]
In 2016, Maggie De Monde resurrected the Scarlet Fantastic name with the release of her album Reverie and the Beyond Pluto EP.[6] In 2021, Scarlet Fantastic released the singles "Better Day"[7][8][9] and "Make Way For Love" (produced by HiFi Sean Dickson of The Soup Dragons)[10][11] as tasters for a new album with tracks co-written with John L. Walters of 1980s band Landscape.
