Stars ist das vierte Studioalbum der britischen Popband Simply Red. Es wurde am 30. September 1991 über das Label East West Records veröffentlicht.

Карьера группы достигла своего пика в конце 1991 года с выходом альбома "Stars", который стал самым продаваемым альбомом в течение двух лет подряд в Европе и Великобритании. Пять синглов из альбома вошли в Топ-40 в Великобритании, а синглы "Something Got Me Started" и "Stars" были также хитами по всей Европе, Северной Америке, Австралии и Новой Зеландии. 12-ти кратно платиновый, этот альбом стал визитной карточкой группы "Simply Red".

"Songs of Love" - сборник самых нежных и прекрасных композиций о любви. Этот альбом, как итог фантастических 25 лет музыки Simply Red перед прощальным туром. В него вошли "If You Don't Know Me By Now", "Holding Back The Years", "Stars", "You've Got It", "For Your Babies", повторно записанный редкий трек "Beside You", и другие композиции.

Picture Book (deutsch: Bilderbuch) ist das Debütalbum von Simply Red, das im Oktober 1985 erschien. Vom Album wurden bisher 3.310.000 Exemplare verkauft. Neben Eigenkompositionen enthält es zwei Coverversionen: Heaven (im Original von Talking Heads aus dem Jahr 1979) und Money’s Too Tight (To Mention) (von den Valentine Brothers aus dem Jahr 1982). Der Verkaufserfolg ließ sich durch die recht erfolgreich gewordene Ballade Holding Back the Years tragen, die im Juli 1986 die Spitzenposition in den USA erreichte. Musik aus dem Album wurde in gleich vier Folgen der in den 1980er Jahren sehr populären Serie Miami Vice verwendet.

Picture Book is the debut album by British pop and soul group Simply Red, released in October 1985. It contains the U.S. #1 single "Holding Back the Years", the band's most successful single, and a cover of The Valentine Brothers' "Money's Too Tight (to Mention)". Three other singles were released from the album: "Come to My Aid", "Jericho", and "Open Up the Red Box".
The album helped Simply Red earn a 1987 Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. "Holding Back the Years" was also nominated for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals.

В 1999 году группа выпустила альбом Love and Russian Winter. Как объяснил Хакнелл, русская зима — это глобальное явление, изменяющее ход истории. Так, войска французской армии Наполеона были остановлены в том числе и благодаря русским морозам, к которым армия оказалась не готова.

Simply Red are a British soul and pop band formed in Manchester in 1985. The lead vocalist of the band is singer and songwriter Mick Hucknall, who, by the time the band initially disbanded in 2010, was the only original member left. Since the release of their debut studio album Picture Book (1985), they have had ten songs reach top 10 in the UK Singles Chart, including "Holding Back the Years" and "If You Don't Know Me by Now", both of which reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. They have had five number one albums in the UK, with their 1991 album, Stars, being one of the best-selling albums in UK chart history.

Шестой дважды платиновый альбом Simply Red "Blue" лидирует в чартах с синглами "Say You Love Me" и "The Air That I Breathe".

Greatest Hits is the first compilation album released by British pop and soul group Simply Red, which contained material from their first five studio albums (Picture Book, Men and Women, A New Flame, Stars and Life) and included a newer track, a cover of Aretha Franklin's 1973 classic, "Angel".

Simply Red release their first new studio album in eight years with Big Love out June 1st on East West Records. When the band announced a massive world tour to celebrate their 30th anniversary last autumn, main man Mick Hucknall started thinking about recording again. “Once I began wondering how Simply Red were going to sound, I started writing songs,” says Mick. And once he started, he couldn’t stop. Big Love is the first Simply Red album to feature only original compositions since 1995’s ‘Life’. All twelve tracks are written by Mick Hucknall and produced by Andy Wright. Highlights include the celebratory first single ‘Shine On’ driven by their trademark blue-eyed soul sound and ‘The Ghost Of Love’, a big soul song punctuated by wah-wah guitar and the kind of bold orchestral strokes that once powered Barry White and his Love Unlimited.

Home is the eighth Simply Red studio album, released in 2003. It is the first Simply Red album released on band frontman Mick Hucknall's own record label, Simplyred.com. The album was a success all around the world, due to the hit singles, "Sunrise", "Fake", "You Make Me Feel Brand New" and "Home".
