Got a case of the blues? Swing Out Sister music will rock you into good spirits in no time. It’s that lively, fun, and smooth! They always have that distinctive sound that I simply love.

Definitely one of the best British bands to come out in a long time, Swing Out Sister was definitely made a great strides in popular music prior to the present age of boy bands and teenage divas. Swing Out Sister produced some of the catchiest, fun songs to be heard in a long time. Lead singer Corrine Drewery and musician Andy Connell became one of the best duet imports from the United Kingdom since the Eurythmics and Everything But The Girl hit America.

A marvelous British jazz-pop group from the 80’s, Swing Out Sister, led by sultry singer Corinne Drewery, are best known for the bouncy US Top Ten hit, “Breakout.” But there’s a lot more great songs where that came from. Drewery’s voice is smooth & silky, and so is the group’s music. Great smooth grooves & snappy tunes from start to finish. I’m glad that Swing Out Sister are still together to this day, ’cause they are GOOD. ”

With some great songs such as the catchy “Breakout, Am I The Same Girl, La la Means I Love You, Precious Words, Forever Blue, You On My Mind. I automatically became a HUGE fan of this band. Their version of the classic song, “La La Means I Love You,” which has been covered by many groups and artists such as Prince and the Jets, was very soothing and enticing. “You On My Mind” also became one of my new favorites due to a great arrangement and Corrine’s pleasant voice.

The good news is that Swing Out Sister is back and have released a new album, “Beautiful Mess.” I am anxiously looking forward to listening to this album and hearing more from this talented duo. This album is a must have for any fans all over the world. I also heard that they are coming to Manila.

Julia Duncan’s The Love Lounge is a lovely, enchanting musical experience.

I also include bonus tracks from Susan Wong, Bread, George Benson, Eagles and more. The guitar has always been my favorite instrument to listen to. I have always been a blues guitar fan. I love the blues because of the guitar. George Benson’s guitar playing is magnificent. So clear, fluent, and really does swing, in these pop tunes. After a long hard day, George Benson just soothes the stress of the day away.

For those who haven’t heard their music, Workshy is probably best classified as a soul-jazz-pop crossover. Having said that, the magic of this album is that it’s really become difficult to classify. The influences and genres don’t blend together – they just disappear like they’ve never existed, leaving you with the magic. My favorites are upbeat music like Say a Little Prayer, If I ever Lose This Heaven, Love Is The Place To Be, and Light of Day.

Often categorized as Pop-Jazz, here in Asia they are quite popular(specially Japan). While Workshy may not have consistently great material (i.e music, lyrics) found in any single album. Chrysta Jones’ voice is definitely something worth keep coming back for (also the reason I have Soul Love, Allure, Under the Influence albums in my collection).
