The blue abyss where blue-eyed soul has matured
Simply Red paints a sound world where melancholy and hope intersect.
Mick Hucknall's emotive vocals blend perfectly with the sophisticated soul sound. The natural fusion of electronic and acoustic instruments shows the maturity of pop music in the late 1990s. This is a mature masterpiece that combines the depth of blues with the familiarity of pop.
