By far the best track from Simply Red’s latest album of the same title.
This urban soul-jazz infused delight oozes class throughout. The funky
basslines lead the way for Hucknall to drench the song with melodies and
harmonies – proving he’s still the ubermaster of blue-eyed soul. His
heartfelt lyrics and singing are perfectly suited to the pace, style and
emotion.
Of the two versions, the album cut is better, though there’s little
tampering on the radio mix, so it still works brilliantly.
One of his best studio moments in a while. Will make Top Ten for certain.
