Our Take

Spoiler alert: Manchester is calling, and Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott have answered. And boy, are we glad they did. The dynamic duo has returned with their latest offering, "Manchester Calling" (Double Deluxe Version), and let me tell you, it's an absolute banger.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to the rainy streets of Manchester, where the music flows as freely as the beer. Heaton's smooth vocals and Abbott's haunting harmonies blend seamlessly together, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

The album kicks off with the infectious title track, "Manchester Calling," a love letter to the city that shaped their sound. From there, the hits just keep on coming, with standouts like "The Only Exercise I Get Is You" and "If You Could See Your Faults."

But it's not all rainbows and unicorns in Manchester. Heaton and Abbott aren't afraid to tackle some more serious topics, such as mental health and the struggles of everyday life. Tracks like "The Outskirts of the Dancefloor" and "The Stars" show a darker, more introspective side to the duo, proving that they're not just here to make you dance – they're here to make you think.

Overall, "Manchester Calling" is a triumph. Heaton and Abbott have once again proven why they're one of the most beloved duos in British music. So grab a pint, put on your dancing shoes, and let the music of Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott take you on a journey through the streets of Manchester. You won't be disappointed. Cheers!
