Our Take

LEVEL 42, Level 42

It's a truth universally acknowledged that Level 42 are the most British band to have ever Britished. And their self-titled debut album is like a big ol' cup of Earl Grey with a splash of cheeky charm and a dash of funky bass.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to the land of big hair, bigger shoulder pads, and even bigger hits. And boy, do these boys know how to hit the right notes. With Mark King's slap bass skills leading the way, Level 42 effortlessly blend jazz-funk grooves with pop sensibilities, creating a sound that's as infectious as a cold on the London Underground.

Tracks like "Turn It On" and "Starchild" are pure bops that'll have you dancing like you're at a dodgy disco in the heart of Soho. And let's not forget the iconic "Love Meeting Love," a song so smooth it's like butter melting on a crumpet.

But it's not all sunshine and rain in Level 42's world. Songs like "43" and "Heathrow" offer a glimpse into the darker side of British life, where the rain never stops and the cups of tea run dry.

Overall, Level 42's debut album is a quintessentially British masterpiece that's as quirky and charming as a bloke in a bowler hat. So grab a cuppa, put on your dancing shoes, and let Level 42 transport you to a time when British pop ruled the world. Cheers, lads.
