Product Description
From the Label
Following the huge international success of Home, Simply Red are back with a unique new album, a proven and unique record label and a re-awakened fan base. Simplified is an Unplugged "Best Of" album with three new tracks. Twelve songs in all, stripped back to mainly acoustic arrangements – we call it "Simplified" – to allow the song and the unique voice of Mick Hucknall to shine. To add some spice, there is a decidedly Latin flavour to the record.

The singles from the album will all be new songs, the first is "Perfect Love", a soon to be Simply Red classic – up-tempo and unashamedly catchy. The second is the latest in a long line of classy Simply Red covers, "Song For You" originally penned by Leon Russell, but with lyrics that sound like Mick could have written them last week.



Description
Follow-up to 2003's 'Home' from multi-platinum recording band Simply Red. With a career spanning more than two decades,this album offers stripped-down versions of many of their biggest hits to date. Featured are the classic songs 'Something Got Me Started' and 'Holding Back The Years'. The single 'Perfect Love' is also included.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much Much Better Than Expected, 9 Jan 2006
By A Customer
I have liked Simply Red since their first album, but recent albums I have been disappointed. Having read a negative review here i was not too hopeful. I also thought it would be just Mick Hucknell singing solo (Sinatra style).

I was wrong - this is an EXCELLENT album. Old and new. Slow and fast tracks, improved versions of old songs, a latin twist.

If you like Simply Red - this is an excellent album. BUY IT.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, 7 Nov 2005
By A Customer
Die hard fans will have bought this anyway to add to their collection. I was given it as a gift, and must be honest - on first hearing, I thought it a bit washed out, other than the Perfect Love single which gets into your head and stays there.

Then I saw them at the Albert Hall last week - the album roared in my ears and was simply (excuse the pun) brought to life. So much so that I am off to see them again tomorrow in Brighton, and again on Wednesday in Bournemouth. Give this a listen at least twice and you won't want to play anything else. And if your kids are like mine - and thoroughly fed up with hearing it on an endless loop - tell them that they have NO MUSICAL TASTE WHATSOEVER!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very pleasent but could have been better, 3 Nov 2005
By A Customer
I'm a long term fan of Simply Red so it surprised me to sound a bit negative. That's partly my own fault - I just 'bought' and didn't take note that some of the tracks are covers and this isn't an entirely new album. When any artist does that it always feels like a bit of a swizz. So saying the overall 'feel' of the album is great, most of the cover tracks are well done and worth hearing as a new version. There are a couple of exceptions. A long time favourite track of mine is Fairground and I was looking forward to an upbeat remix similar to the initial tracks on the album - instead it's a slow paced soulful sound that's okay but nothing spectacular and a couple of others I disliked even more. However, I do still like the album and if you're a fan and can get it at a great price like here rather than in the high street then I would thoroughly recommend buying.
