Album Notes & Community Reviews
The third album by English band Embrace, 'If You've Never Been' is a quieter, piano led record than their earlier anthemic work, centred on Danny McNamara's melancholic songwriting. Its subdued reception led to the band being dropped by their label, before their later commercial comeback.
