About Squeeze
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
Squeeze's music developed around the songwriting partnership of Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook. Their repertoire uses pop songs to tell compact stories, including Up the Junction, Cool for Cats and Labelled with Love. Albums such as Frank, Play and Some Fantastic Place extended that partnership beyond the early singles. After periods apart and work outside the group, they reunited and recorded Cradle to the Grave for the television series of the same name.
