A Britpop masterpiece with a light rhythm and stylish arrangement.
Featuring hits such as "Love Plus One," the album features a refreshing mix of acoustic guitar, horns, and percussion, epitomizing the chicness of 1980s Britain.
The exquisite blend of acoustic and horn creates a pleasant rhythmic feel. The catchy melodies and light tempos exemplified by "Love Plus One" permeate the entire album, while Nick Heyward's delicate vocals add a touch of urban flair. The arrangements, which sublimated jazz and funk elements into pop, were groundbreaking at the time, and their high level of perfection explains their chart success, reaching number three in the UK. The crystal-clear sound production is impressive, and the album beautifully walks the line between new wave and pop. A masterpiece that symbolizes the early days of '80s Britpop.
