Flowered Up - A Life With Brian
Review by James Harris
A Life With Brian, the second and final album by British indie rock band Flowered Up, was released in 1994. The album was produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, who had previously worked with artists like Elvis Costello and Madness.
The album features a mix of rock, funk, and dance elements, with catchy hooks and grooves that are sure to get listeners moving. The opening track, "It's On," sets the tone with its driving rhythm and infectious chorus. Other standout tracks include "Take It," "Weekender," and "Better Life."
One of the album's strengths is its lyrics, which address issues like drug addiction, social inequality, and the search for meaning in life. The band's frontman, Liam Maher, delivers the lyrics with a raw, emotive energy that adds to the album's overall impact.
