The Beat - Cant Get Used To Losing You
Review by Andrew Mowbray
The album "Can't Get Used to Losing You" by Beat is a timeless classic that showcases the band's unique sound and style. The album is a compilation of some of the band's most popular songs, including "Mirror in the Bathroom," "Hands Off She's Mine," and "Twist and Crawl."
The album features a mix of upbeat, danceable tracks and slow, introspective ballads that showcase the band's versatility and range. The lyrics are thoughtful and introspective, exploring themes of love, loss, and the struggles of everyday life.
One of the standout tracks on the album is the hit single "Can't Get Used to Losing You." The song is a catchy, upbeat tune that perfectly captures the band's signature sound. The song's lyrics are relatable and heartfelt, making it a fan favorite even decades after its initial release.

About The Beat
2 Tone Ska revival group formed in 1978 in Birmingham, England by guitarist/vocalist with (bass) and (guitar) along with rapper/toaster (), drummer and veteran Jamaican saxophonist (Lionel Martin). As there was an eponymous US group emerging at the time they were forced to use the names The English Beat on their North American releases and The British Beat briefly in Australia.
The band enjoyed immediate chart success and established their own record label . After the split in 1983, Steele and Cox went on to form and later while Wakeling, Ranking Roger and Saxa formed . Saxa and Everett Morton also formed , with some guest appearances by Ranking Roger who also joined members of in .
Until recently, two different versions of the band toured fairly frequently: "The English Beat starring Dave Wakeling" (a.k.a. , based in California, U.S.A.) and "The Beat with Ranking Roger" (a.k.a. , which also featured Ranking Roger's son , and was based in the UK.) The latter group ended with the death of Ranking Roger in Spring of 2019.

Bit like madness and when original lead vocalists of Specials became Fun Boy 3 (including the now late Terry Hall)... Beat went a little poppy with still a ska background

I love the Beat, but that casual throwing of the hired jacket over the shoulder and exit stage right really hurts.
