Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Calling an album Love And The Russian Winter was a surprisingly courageous--some would say foolish--move. Ask any would-be world conqueror: a Russian winter is the surest way to suffer crushing, final, demoralising defeat. Still, though, Mick Hucknall's confidence would not be swayed, so it's to his credit that the evocative title is justified by the songs, from uptempo pop to their trademark slushy ballads. First single "Ain't That a Lot of Love" is Simply Red's most uptempo offering since the 1995 "Fairground", boasting a house-influenced production. Meanwhile, "Your Eyes", with its richly textured arrangement, revisits familiar ground--complete with the drummer and programmer who worked on Simply Red's Stars. --Shanthi Sivanesan

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Red. Simply great material., 8 Sep 2002
Love in the Russian winter is one pop album I don't mind listening to. I've seen Mick Hucknall's diversity of music styles, from soulful "If you don't know me by now" to disco "Fairground" and the progress only continues here. "Ain't that a lot of love" is one bouncy tune. But the sincerity of "Thank you" catches me off guard the most. Yes, this and "Your eyes", which I can't help but associate with my girlfriend's beautiful eyes, "Man made the Gun" and "The Sky is A gypsy". All in all, this is simply red. Simply great material.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love and the Russian Winter - brilliant!, 2 Dec 2004
By A Customer
This Album is brilliant! It is definitely Simply Red at their best. It shows off their diverse range of music styles and shows Mick, as ever, is as versatile as an egg. Songs that stand out for me include 'Back Into The Universe', 'Ain't That A Lot Of Love', 'Spirit of Life', and 'Words for Girlfriends' but the rest are all good and worthy songs which show Mick as an extremely grown up song writer. If you like Pop then this may be for you but there is a bit of Dance, R'n'B, Soul and a hint of reggae as well. A definite for all Simply Red fans!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is to say that I think the album is really good, 23 Jun 2000
I think this album is brilliant. The best songs are 'Spirit of life', 'thankyou' and 'words for girlfriends'. I definitly recomend this album to all those Simply red fans out there and anyone who likes soulful music.

If you enjoy the sound of Simply Red, and their specially kind of music, this is it. Soul, R&B, and a great voice.
