Songs featured in its catalogue include "Relax" and "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood – two of the best-selling pop hits of the 1980s, the Grammy Award-winning "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal, Frankie's "The Power of Love", "Dreams and Sunshine" by Gabrielle, and "Beatbox", "Close (To the Edit)" and "Moments in Love" by the Art of Noise – two of the most sampled songs in history.
History
The company was formed in 1982 by record producer Trevor Horn and manager Jill Sinclair and has been based at the same office – Sarm Studios – ever since. Horn's credits date back to Baby Blue, a 1979 co-write for Dusty Springfield. Additionally, he has produced songs written for Malcolm McLaren and Grace Jones, and co-writes in the 2000s for Cher, Lisa Stansfield and t.A.T.u..
Among some of the most notable musicians Perfect has worked with, the company has signed David Jordan, singer-songwriter Kid Harpoon, Alistair Griffin and Tim Hutton.
Two of Perfect's most enduring songwriters were both signed before they had much notoriety, and have since collected Grammy Awards and nominations. Seal, whose hits include "Crazy", "Kiss from a Rose", "Killer" and "Future Love Paradise"; and Marsha Ambrosius, who signed to Perfect in the very early 2000s, and has written for and in collaboration with Michael Jackson and Alicia Keys.
Perfect has also worked with Gabrielle, Mark Morrison, rapper MC Tunes, rave act Shades of Rhythm, and 808 State.
