Simply Red: Next Steps
Apple Music
Simply Red's biggest ‘80s and ‘90s hits are confident soul seductions. Beyond that is fresh musical terrain: the swooning samba of “Perfect Love” and the seductive house of “Thrill Me,” while “Night Nurse” updates Gregory Isaacs' lilting reggae come-on. With “Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye,” the band's ardour boils down to a passionate voice, strident piano, and Cole Porter's most swooning lyric.
