专辑介绍

Simply Red (纯红乐队) 1984年初成立,是英国最成功的灵歌风格的流行乐队之一。乐队的领军人物是Mick Hucknall,他的高亢嗓音使得乐队给人一种真正的灵歌感觉,他一头火红的卷发几乎成为了乐队的标志。1985年夏天,他们以一首翻唱Money's Too Tight (To Mention)打入英国排行榜前20名。随后,乐队推出的首张专辑(Picture Book)成为白金唱片,最终以一曲&Holding Back The Years&在英美两地都获得了极大的成功。乐队的第4张专辑(Stars)成为Simply Red最出色、最成功的专辑,不仅获得了英国最佳专辑奖,还成为英国1991年销量最高的唱片,并在全世界销售出了850万张。

红色的纯粹在于它的优秀弥久不衰,仿佛英伦空气中弥漫着的乾净冰凉一般的歌声,英伦灵魂的领航者Simply Red向你敞开他的音乐世界......

Although it doesn't have a single as strong as &Holding Back the Years& or &If You Don't Know Me by Now,& Stars is Simply Red's best album since their debut. It's smoother and more polished than their previous work, yet Mick Hucknall is singing better than ever and his songwriting is improving. That is a good thing, too, since Stars is the first Simply Red album not to contain any cover songs. Having absorbed his pop, soul, and reggae influences, Hucknall is now successfully writing songs in his own style, something that, with the exception of &Holding Back the Years,& he hadn't managed previously. The result, in Europe and especially the U.K., was a massive commercial breakthrough for the group. Stars even outsold Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band at home. In America, where the band had never established much audience continuity beyond its two number one hit singles, it was a different story, which, given the band's highly American-influenced sound, was a confirmation of the overall decline of English bands in the U.S. in the early '90s.
