There are also strong, pure melodies and mature, intimate lyrics, all written by Hucknall. On LIFE, Simply Red teams up with a solid group of musicians and the result is an accessible, smooth, pop-styled album that includes plenty of ballads, but is fortified by tangible reggae, funk and jazz influences.The new weightiness of LIFE's lyrics moves beyond the personal toward the global, a clear theme of "So Many People," a mellow jazzy song which describes love as something enormous, reaching beyond human beings to the earth itself. Even on more earthbound songs like "Fairground," whose underlying tribal dance-beat gives it substance and which addresses a specific, individual love, the ever-present connection between the personal and the universal resonates.
