Credo is the ninth studio album by English synth-pop band the Human League, released on 21 March 2011 by Wall of Sound.
[3] In 2012, the album was awarded a silver certification from the Independent Music Companies Association (IMPALA),[4] denoting sales in excess of 20,000 copies across Europe.
Following the commercial underperformance of their previous album, Secrets,[5] the band decided to concentrate on their live appearances and forego a contract with a major label.
[6] After seven years of working live venues, Philip Oakey and Rob Barton decided the band needed new material.
[6] Oakey notes I Monster's contribution to the album stating in an interview with John Doran of The Quietus, "The first thing he gave us back, 'Sky' we just went, 'Wow, how has he turned that into this?'
"[10] Favourable reviews included Gay Times, which awarded Credo five out of five and called it an "incredible pop offering".
[12] Caroline Sullivan from The Guardian remarked that "Credo sounds like nobody but the Human League: electronics gurgle and whirr, and some fairly memorable melodies surge and flow.
