"Blue" marks the beginning of the new Simply Red as Mick has left the "band-thing" for a more "Hucknall with session musicians-band". It has also shown off in the music. The liveliness of former albums has changed into a more soft and straight formula which also turns out varying. "Say you love me", "Someday in my life", "Love has said goodbye again" and "High fives" are all songs that has moved me deeply and they are all among SR's best so far. On the other hand, "Angel", "Ghetto girl" and "Night nurse" are among the most unispired songs I've ever heard Mick sing. "Mellow my mind" is a good cover of a good song which I didn't fully enjoy with Neil Young. I save the album for the best tunes for they are truly really, really good.
