Simply Red - Time (Deluxe Edition) (2023) [CD-Rip]

Simply Red will release a brand new studio album, Time, in May. The 12-track record is the band’s first in four years and was recorded with longtime producer Andy Wright. Formats including limited red vinyl (exclusive to the band’s shop) and a deluxe CD edition which offers three bonus tracks performed live recently at BBC Radio 2’s Piano Room (including a cover of Paul McCartney & Wings‘ ‘My Love’).

The album's lyrics have been described as "confessional", with Mick Hucknall stating: "When we were in lockdown, I went, 'well, jeez, who am I actually? What makes me tick?' And I realised: 'you are a songwriter. So why don't you write some songs about who you are?' That's really the essence of this album." The album was recorded in London with the band's long-time producer Andy Wright, with the resulting sound described as a mix of "soul, funk, R&B and blues".
