Picture Book

by Simply Red

Picture Book cover art

Simply Red debuted with a remarkably polished, highly successful fusion of slick 80s R&B, Britfunk, and highly emotional blue-eyed soul. Mick Hucknall’s intensely passionate, soaring vocals carry both smooth pop ballads and energetic, rhythmically driven social critiques. Anchored by the massive hit 'Holding Back the Years', 'Picture Book' is a lush, deeply sentimental masterpiece of commercial pop-soul.
