Free Music Notes for StayFree Music Review: Simply Red shines Hit: 4 StarsSTAY is an excellent release from the very underrated Simply red. The band has always provided quality jazz with an inventive r@b style. And lead vocalist Mick Hucknall is a genious. His vocals are a true gift. His voice is so unique and he has an awesome range both musically and emotionally.
This is the third release by their own production company and the set shines. They in no way rest on their laurels and the songs are a little more mature than their previous work. Many artists of their caliber sing music that begins to sound repetetive. Not the case here. Mick Hucknall always has a cohesive purpose with each album.
There are many standout cuts here. THE WORLD AND YOU TONIGHT, OH WHAT A GIRL, GOOD TIMES HAVE DONE ME WRONG and STAY are all electric. Sadly, Simply Red is not going to record any more new music (as of 2008) so if you don't have this as a part of your collection it is a must have.
Quality jazz again from Simply Red.
Free Music Review: simply red Hit: 3 Starslove the one song, & the rest are ok. he has a unique sound of his own. but glad he has a new album out, its been a long time
Free Music Review: One of the best, not to be missed Hit: 5 StarsWhat a great and pleasant CD. It is up there with one of Mick's best, not forgetting the talent backing him. Can hardly wait for the Live in Cuba DVD I ordered. Another "must have".
Free Music Review: Simply red latest CD... Hit: 5 StarsAlways been a fan of this group. I love the song "Still Not over You."
Free Music Review: Quality production of fair material Hit: 3 StarsGood quality complex vocals and arrangements as to be expected from SR, but somewhat disappointing regarding the consistency across all songs. Overall lyrics felt too familiar to previous work. Only a couple songs have the potential to be memorable and will bring me to revisit the album again.
