Our Take

The year is 1971. Matt Monro, the suave and sophisticated crooner known for his velvet voice and timeless charm, steps into the recording studio to begin a new chapter in his illustrious career. The result? The Complete EMI Recordings 1971-1984, a delightful collection of Monro's work during this period. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a bygone era of cocktail parties, candlelit dinners, and romance in the air. Monro's smooth vocals glide effortlessly over lush orchestrations, bringing to life classics like "Unchained Melody" and "Softly As I Leave You" with a sense of nostalgia that's impossible to resist. But don't be fooled by the vintage charm of this album. Monro's voice may be from another time, but his emotional depth and vocal range are still as captivating as ever. Whether he's belting out a heartfelt ballad or crooning a playful love song, Monro's performances are packed with passion and soul. And let's not forget the impeccable production on this album. EMI's archival recordings have been lovingly restored, allowing Monro's voice to shine brightly against a backdrop of lush strings and jazzy brass. It's a sonic feast for the ears that will have you hitting repeat time and time again. So grab a glass of your finest champagne, dim the lights, and let Matt Monro serenade you into the night with The Complete EMI Recordings 1971-1984. You won't be disappointed. Cheers to the music of yesteryear, brought back to life in glorious technicolour.

About the artist

Matt Monro

Ah, Matt Monro, the smooth crooner with a voice like melted chocolate and a charm that could make your granny swoon. Born Terence Edward Parsons, this East London lad rose to fame in the 1960s with his velvety tones and easy-listening style. Hailing from a working-class background, Monro's rise to stardom was a classic rags-to-riches tale that endeared him to fans across the globe. His impeccable diction and Sinatra-esque swagger earned him the nickname "The British Sinatra," a comparison he never shied away from. Monro's catalogue is a treasure trove of timeless classics, from the hauntingly beautiful "Walk Away" to the jaunty "Born Free." His performances were always delivered with a twinkle in his eye and a wink to the audience, making him a firm favorite among the ladies. Despite his undeniable talent, Monro never quite reached the same level of fame as his American counterparts. But, as any true music aficionado will tell you, his legacy looms large in the pantheon of greats. So here's to Matt Monro, the unsung hero of British easy-listening, whose music continues to captivate and enchant listeners to this day. Raise a glass (or a cocktail) to the man who made us all believe in the power of song. Cheers, Matt. You're a true legend.
