Fact #125414

Full marks must go to Madness drummer Woody for fashioning a solo album that doesn’t sound even remotely like Suggs and his Nutty Boys. Better yet, despite his unimpressive vocals, there’s much to be admired in Woody’s command of light, sparkly pop tropes, which results in fizzy, refreshing cuts like the title track, and optimistic, dreamy outings like Come To Me. Aficionados will know that Woody has operated outside the Madness framework on several previous projects, including Voice Of The Beehive and The Magic Brothers, but much of the joy of this album derives from it being so infectiously spontaneous that it could have been made by a man half his age.
