Fine Young Cannibals / Fine Young Cannibals (1985); Ein erstaunlich ausgereiftes Debüt: schlank produzierter Pop mit Soul- und New-Wave-Einflüssen, getragen von Roland Gifts markanter Falsettstimme. Songs wie „Johnny Come Home“ und „Suspicious Minds“ mischen sozialkritische Untertöne mit tanzbaren Grooves. Stilistisch irgendwo zwischen melancholischem Northern Soul und 80s-Coolness – elegant, eigen, eingängig. #FineYoungCannibals #RolandGift #SophistiPop #PopRock #SynthPop #Pop #Soul

🎧 Mood.

Elvis came to #RolandGift in a dream and told him to record this song, and it would be the best version ever.

He did. It is.

The word is Money

#FinleyQuaye “Sunday Shining” from "Maverick A Strike," 1997

Lyric:
Some say - yeah
Money in my
(One on one)
Money in my pocket
But I just can't get your love

Finley Quaye’s debut album “Maverick A Strike” with its first single “Sunday Shining” met with pop success in his native UK, but his music seemingly will never have the breadth or influence of his more prolific nephew #Tricky. Nevertheless this is some of the most engaging, delightful music I know. Catchy? Absolutely. Lightweight? Nah/Who cares.

I’ve never thought deeply about the lyrics here; this track is the sound of a sunny summer day, the sound of joy. The album has generous helpings of #reggae flavor, but this is a #rock song, driven by a #guitar countermelody churning below vocals that call to mind #RolandGift of #FineYoungCannibals with some much-needed character from a night of cigarettes and whiskey.

Go ahead, TRY not to like this.
