Description:

Simply Red, led by blue-eyed soul artist Mick Hucknell, has made a name for itself around the world with its soulful sound and sophisticated pop since its Manchester debut in 1985. Known as one of the UK's most successful artists, they have had ten Top 10 UK singles and five #1 UK albums to date, and their 1991 masterpiece "Stars" is one of the biggest-selling albums in UK chart history. In the U.S., "Holding Back the Years" and "If You Don't Know Me By Now" reached No. 1 on the U.S. Singles Chart, and has sold over 12 million copies in the U.K. alone and over 50 million copies worldwide. In the UK alone, he has sold 12 million copies, and over 50 million copies worldwide.The band stopped performing in 2010, but returned in 2015 with a world tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut and the album "Big Love," presenting the essence of Blue Eyed Soul to the world with more lustrous vocals and a sophisticated soul/pop sound. Simply Red, who have continued their energetic activities mainly in the U.K. and Europe since then, have completed their latest album "BLUE EYED SOUL", their second album since their revival and 12th album in total, after a four-year interval since their last album! The title of the album, which refers to the band's own sound style, is a testament to the quality of the new album. This is the "best" Blue Eyed Soul album that brings out the best of Mick Hucknell.Produced at British Grove Studios in London with longtime collaborator Andy Wright as producer, this latest release of 10 tracks includes some of the funkiest soul tracks with an irresistible horn section, a stunning ballad that will move you emotionally, and a mid-tempo soul/pop track that is smooth and melodically stunning. The latest release is an album that is simply "sensational," featuring the funkiest of funky soul tracks with an irresistible horn section, a stunning ballad, and a mid-tempo soul/pop track with a smooth feel and a stunning melody. Mick Hucknell had this to say about the album. As you get older in your career, you tend to look back on your life and finish an album that has a little bit of a darker flavor to it. I wanted to make an album with more punch than ever. I wanted to make an album with more punch than ever so I could have a good time with everyone.
