A mellow release by essentially what is a two person English band, (Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt) this Everything But The Girl 1994 release is full of soothing songs which put you in a laid back state. The hit Missing, which peaked at #2 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart in early 1996, got this band more noticed by the mainstream, but it’s their other songs which are richly constructed and written.This offering is mainly acoustic driven and it’s superbly clean sounding with nice melodies. Their sound has been categorized under pop, electronic, bossa nova, lounge or alternative dance. I would say this album is alternative with a pop / easy listening feel to it. It’s a wonderful album. As an aside, the duo are also married, but extremely guarded about their private life.
Here they are performing the hit Missing.
