Due May 26, ‘Time’ – Simply Red’s 13th album – was recorded in London with longstanding producer Andy Wright and sees frontman Mick Hucknall at his best, alongside his close-knit group of touring musicians.
“When we were in lockdown, I went, well, jeez, who am I actually?” he remembers. “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 project sees the band back with Warner Music – the label that helped launch their career in 1985 – with Mick adding the LP reflects the musician as he is now – a happily married father and an ever-inspired singer and songwriter.
“Music is one of those wonderful communicators. Each and every person can have an interpretation of a song that can mean something to them,” he explains. “To be able to create something that is then shared with millions of people all over the world – what a joy. How can anything be more rewarding and fulfilling than that?”
‘Time’ is out May 26 on Warner and available to pre-order now.
