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.

Customer Reviews

Much Much Better Than Expected
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.

Simplified
This latest album from Simply Red is simply amazing. A mixture of old favorites like 'Holding back the years','For your babies'and 'Fairground' have been given a new lease of life with new arrangements. Brand new tracks like 'Perfect love' and a stunning cover of Leon Russell's 'A song for you', makes this cd a must have, now!

Narcolepsy Inducing
*Yawn* Where to begin? My housemate loves Mick Hucknall and has all his albums so i bought this on his recommendation. Unfortunately my mate Steve is either brain damaged or just plain stupid.. or maybe a combination of both. With its 'stripped back' arrangements Mick Hucknall entices the most gullable into buying this album as well as 'greatest' hits which offers his classic hits in piss poor format. I used to be a Simply Red fan like my mate Steve, but now i might switch to liking M People or Dido.. i've lost my faith in my housemate, Mick Hucknall and life itself.. i'm going to hang myself whilst listening to this god awful peice of tripe.
