Clear and cheerful swing pop with brass accents
A light-hearted piece that combines swing rhythm with a pop feel. The band's brightness and cohesive ensemble are appealing.
While maintaining the momentum of their debut, this album has evolved into a more sophisticated arrangement. Centered around the band's distinctive swing rock style, the album is colored throughout by the vibrant horn section and bouncy rhythms. Tracks like "One More Kiss" and "Start Me Talking" feature impressive, light-hearted developments that shift between jazz and pop, and the refreshing vocal tones further accentuate the brightness of the songs. Meanwhile, the ballads showcase the mellow textures typical of the '80s, demonstrating a flexible expressiveness that goes beyond mere retro stylings. Combining chic and vibrancy, this album established a unique position for the band in the British pop scene of the time.
