Our Take

SIMPLY RED's Blue Eyed Soul is a whimsical journey through soulful melodies and groovy beats. Lead singer Mick Hucknall's distinct voice shines brightly on tracks like "Thinking of You" and "Sweet Child," transporting listeners to a world filled with passion and emotion.

The album's production is top-notch, with the band's signature brass section adding a rich layer of texture to each song. The funky basslines and catchy guitar riffs keep the energy high throughout, making it impossible not to dance along.

However, Blue Eyed Soul does occasionally fall flat with a few forgettable tracks that lack the spark found in the album's standout moments. While songs like "Complete Love" and "BadBootz" are enjoyable, they lack the depth and artistry of the album's best offerings.

Despite this, SIMPLY RED's Blue Eyed Soul is a fun and enjoyable listen that will undoubtedly appeal to fans of the band's earlier work. Whether you're a longtime admirer of Mick Hucknall's soulful voice or a newcomer to the band's music, this album is sure to leave you feeling satisfied and grooving along to its irresistible tunes.

Overall, Blue Eyed Soul is a solid addition to SIMPLY RED's discography, showcasing the band's enduring talent and passion for creating infectious, soulful music. So go ahead, grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey through the world of Blue Eyed Soul. Cheers!

About the artist

Simply Red

Simply Red is the musical project of English singer and songwriter Mick Hucknall, who has been serenading audiences with his soulful voice since the mid-1980s. Known for their smooth blend of pop, soul, and funk, Simply Red has become a household name thanks to hits like "Holding Back the Years" and "If You Don't Know Me By Now". Hucknall's distinctive voice is like a fine wine, only getting better with age. His emotive delivery and heartfelt lyrics have the power to transport listeners to another place, making Simply Red a staple in the realm of romantic ballads and feel-good tunes. Despite the band's undeniable talent and commercial success, Simply Red has often been overshadowed by more avant-garde acts in the music industry. But what they lack in edginess, they more than make up for in sheer musicality and timelessness. Simply Red's live performances are a sight to behold, with Hucknall's vocals soaring effortlessly over the tight instrumentation of his talented bandmates. It's a testament to the group's enduring appeal that they can still pack out arenas around the world, decades after their debut. So next time you're in the mood for some heartfelt, soulful tunes, don't overlook Simply Red. They may not be the trendiest act on the scene, but their music has a way of cutting right to the core of human emotion. And sometimes, that's all you need.
