Simply Red's New Album "Stay" in Stores Now
Sunday, July 01, 2007
Simply Red, one of the UK’s most talented, successful and enduring bands, are here to stay. To prove it, they return with the aptly titled new album ‘Stay’which is in stores now. The third LP, available on their own label SimplyRed.com, is a smooth, passionate collection of soulful tunes and vibrant lyrics, all driven with Mick Hucknall’s inimitable vocals.
Written and produced by Mick Hucknall, with contributions from Andy Wright - whose previous credits include Natalie Imbruglia and Annie Lennox - the album was recorded between London’s ‘Home’ and ‘Metropolis’ studios late last year. Featuring the irrepressible new single ‘So Not Over You’, it also boasts 10 other brand new tracks.
Highlights include: the electric glow of Ronnie Lane’s classic ‘Debris’; the sparkling title track ‘Stay’; the almost autobiographical ‘Good Times Have Done Me Wrong’ & the decadently romantic ‘The World And You Tonight’.
The new album follows a triumphant 18 months, which saw them earn their tenth Top Ten album, play three sold-out dates at London’s Royal Albert Hall and perform at Oslo’s Nobel Peace Prize concert. Their last LP – the critically acclaimed ‘Simplified’ - entered the UK album chart at Number 3, adding to the bands extensive list of successes. It followed on from ‘Home’, which sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide.
The new single ‘So Not Over You’ is available on two CDs and features must-have B-sides. The first includes the shimmering ‘Beside You’, while the second boasts revitalised ‘So Not Over You’ mixes by Motivo and Johnny Douglas, as well as the new video, which was directed by Russell Thomas (Maroon 5, Placebo, Kylie Minogue) in Cape Town.
