This reminds me a lot of Visage's Fade To Grey! This was an electropop, synthpop group from Montreal called Nudimension.
They were largely a studio group, primarily made up of a singer-drummer Louie Louie and a non-musician and manager Marc Fontaine. They were occasionally joined, as a 'co-vocalist', by model and TV presenter Anne Marie Cyr, who appears in the music video here and talks (like the French spoken-word verses in Fade To Grey) while Louis sings, because she wasn't a singer and was apparently 'unable to sing'.
Louis previously drummed in Montreal's first punk band, the 222s, who had split up in 1981, and as one of the band's principal songwriters along with guitarist Pierre Major, before singer Chris Barry joined the band, Louis had been keen on writing pop songs even with the 222s, and he was keen on exploring the new synth pop direction, so he formed Nudimension (literally a new dimension to the music). The band mostly wrote in French, and became popular in Francophone Quebec and France, and coming out around the time of the rise of synthpop and the music video, as a band with a visual presence made them stand out quite a bit. Recording a few English language songs and versions of French songs also got them some success across North America.
The spark had gone out by 1989, members went on to focus on other projects. Louis rejoined the 222s on their reunion tour with Asexuals from 2009 to 2011, when the band played Osheaga, one of Canada's premiere indie music festivals.
This song was a bit of a hit, Amour Programmé. Very futuristic and warning of a loss of connection— in a very 80s way. Lyrics by a youtube commenter under the cut
