Music : A New Flame
Rating: 
- Simply brilliant
Ok, so I get these influences from my Dad, but this album is the first that we bought back in the day, 1989 I believe, on cassette, that I have got on CD now, I think Phil Collins' But Seriously would have to be next.
I have to agree with the previous reviews, and also add that to me, both sides of the cassette so tracks 1 & 6, and the last tracks on both sides, seem to feel like they belong there. Its as if they deliberately, put the upbeat Its Only Love and Turn It Up at the start. Funnily enough there's not a weak track on this album, which is rare of any album, although I would pick out A New Flame, More & To Be With You, as my least favourite. I'm not sure why, but the words in To Be With You, amused me and my brother when we were 8-10. The best 3 in my opinion rings true with the previous reviewers, Enough, Love Lays its Tune, and although released, I think the best track is You've Got It. These 3 tracks have the best words and to me express true feelings. All for different reasons and based on different aspects of life. All in all, a fantastic album. Simply Red's best to date.
Rating: - The peak so far!
Of all the Simply Red albums, this is the one that gels the best as a whole. Often overlooked in place of "Stars", I found that album slightly laboured and over-polished. "A New Flame" is superb from start to finish. Well played and produced and there is no weak song to be found. Even the "lesser" tracks, such as "To Be With You" stand tall. There are so many lush moments to found, it's hard to pick highlights. A joy from start to finish, it's hard to imagine him topping this overlooked Great Soul Album.
Rating: - So good... yet so underrated
A New Flame by Simply Red is probably my second favourite release by the ginger soul-master of Manchetser, the first being the incredible Stars. The reason why i believe this album is underrated is simply because there is so much exellent music on here which is overlooked. The main few songs that are associated with A New Flame (Its Only Love, If You Don't Know Me By Now and A New Flame) are used to judge the album, while the real, solid tracks are simply overlooked. Songs like Enough and Love Lays Its Tune display the genius talents of Hucknall and Simply Red. A New Flame may be Hucknalls most varied work to date, dabbling in reggae beats in More, going all out pop in Its Only Love, and telling very accurate tales of life in Love Lays Its Tune and Enough. This may not of appealed to the mainstream young generation, but it can be accessed by everyone who enjoys well written pop played by a well crafted band.

- A great "chill-out" album!
This is my first Simply Red album and I'm so impressed I'll buy the others! Each track digs in deep, creating feelings of joy, positivity and sadness. Mick's voice is one of the best male singing voices in along time, his voice emotionally driven and his style similar to that of Boy George in Culture Club's recent comeback album "Don't mind if I Do!". An all time great! Buy it- you won't regret it!
