Band announce 5-night residency at Royal Albert Hall in MaySimply Red, one of the UKs most talented, successful and enduring bands, are here to stay. To prove it, they return with the aptly titled new album Stay on March 12th. The third LP, available on their own label SimplyRed.com, is a smooth, passionate collection of soulful tunes and vibrant lyrics, all driven with Mick Hucknalls inimitable vocals. Written and produced by Mick Hucknall, with contributions from Andy Wright - whose previous credits include Natalie Imbruglia and Annie Lennox - the album was recorded between Londons Home and Metropolis studios late last year. Featuring the irrepressible new single So Not Over You, March 5th, it also boasts 10 other brand new tracks. Highlights include: the electric glow of Ronnie Lanes classic Debris; the sparkling title track Stay; the almost autobiographical Good Times Have Done Me Wrong and the decadently romantic The World And You Tonight. The new album follows a triumphant 18 months, which saw them earn their tenth Top Ten album, play three sold-out dates at Londons Royal Albert Hall and perform at Oslos Nobel Peace Prize concert. Their last LP the critically acclaimed Simplified - entered the UK album chart at Number 3, adding to the bands extensive list of successes. It followed on from Home, which sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide. The new single So Not Over You is available on two CDs and features must-have B-sides. The first includes the shimmering Beside You, while the second boasts revitalised So Not Over You mixes by Motivo and Johnny Douglas, as well as the new video, which was directed by Russell Thomas (Maroon 5, Placebo, Kylie Minogue) in Cape Town earlier last month.
Simply Red previewed the new album for fans and media at Londons legendary Ronnie Scotts last month and have just announced details of an unprecedented 5 night residency at the Royal Albert Hall from May 25th to May 31st. Simply Red
