Paul Heaton + Jacqui Abbott - Wisdom Laughter And Lines
Review by Avital Eidenbom
Wisdom Laughter And Lines by Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott is an album that showcases the duo's impressive songwriting and vocal talents. The album features a mix of upbeat and reflective tracks that delve into themes of love, loss, and life experiences.
The album opens with the catchy and upbeat track "Moulding of a Fool," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The pair's harmonies are spot-on, and the instrumentation is infectious, making it a standout track. The album's title track, "Wisdom Laughter And Lines," is a beautiful ballad that showcases Abbott's stunning vocals and Heaton's thoughtful lyrics.
Other standout tracks on the album include "The Austerity of Love," which features a catchy chorus and a great guitar riff, and "Heatongrad," which is a nostalgic tribute to Heaton's hometown. The album's closing track, "When Love For Women Comes," is a beautiful and emotional song that showcases the duo's ability to tug at the heartstrings.

About Paul Heaton + Jacqui Abbott
After he had been having a period of working as a solo artist following the demise of the Beautiful South, Paul Heaton decided to invite Jacqui Abbott, one of The Beautiful South's female vocalists, to record some songs together after she had taken an extended break from the music business to raise her son. The collaboration has worked well and they have now released several albums, as well as going out on tour together playing live covering a mixture of new material, with added songs from both The Beautiful South and The Housemartins' back catalogue. In 2020, the duo's fourth album, Manchester Calling, reached No.1 in the UK album chart.

Absolutely love it! What is that lyric - something about cheese?!

I preordered this album from 'amazon and got it about a month ago. I consider Paul Heaton a pop artist and it's good to know he's still having fun crafting pop songs after all these years. He has an unbelievable arsenal of pop gems to be very proud of. I think I have all but two of his albums, and that's alot.

I've heard this on Radio 2 twice now, and just played it to my wife. I still can't figure out what the writer was smoking. possibly the most bizarre song I've ever heard.
