The Nolans - Portrait
Review by Tierno S. Bah
Portrait, the latest album by Nolans, is a wonderful mix of pop, rock and ballad tracks that showcases the band's versatility and vocal prowess. The album consists of 12 tracks, each with a unique sound and style that will keep listeners engaged and entertained throughout.
The opening track "Alive" sets the tone for the album, with its upbeat tempo and catchy chorus. "Lost Without You" and "Brokenhearted" are powerful ballads that showcase the emotional depth of the band's vocals. "I Will" is a stunning cover of the classic Beatles track, while "The Night" and "Believe" are upbeat and energetic tracks that will have listeners dancing along.
The standout track on the album is undoubtedly "Beautiful," a touching ballad that showcases the band's harmonies and emotional range. The lyrics are heartfelt and poignant, and the melody is simply beautiful.

fab trak
The albums were fantastic, never had them off... Must have worn my styluses out on the Nolans.. Ever since Spirit, Body and Soul..!!
Didn't realise the proper version wasn't on YouTube - I'll rectify that. Look out for it!
Keep looking for it but can never find it...the 1982 single and portrait album track...CRASHING DOWN. All i find is the very dodgy 2009 remix or the Saturdays embarassment of a cover. Micheal,as you have the album could you post Crashing down?.. i mean puuurleeese!. For my money the best singles were indeed Crashing Down and the incessantly catchy Gotta Pull myself together.How is this for the catchiest of catchy EP'S.. GPMT/ Get Lucky-Daft Punk & Push The Button-Sugarbabes?.
great harmonies in the title of the chorus
great song!! Get well soon Bernie xx
Great tune! Should have been a single!....great album cover too!
1:08 「お前も所詮デブさ」www
The photograph on this album cover of Coleen, Linda, Maureen and Bernie is definitely frame-worthy. I'm not huge on people having photos of themselves up in their home (unless it's a family portrait) and if I was one of these women I would definitely have this photograph blown up and framed and put on display...it's that good (to me). I'm a picky Virgo, and the only thing that stops me from giving it a complete 100% is Linda's mouth. Their mouths and expressions are all alike, almost perfect, but Linda's is a tiny bit tight - I would have wanted her to loosen her mouth a teeny bit (sorry Linda, love you though). The photo is beyond amazing to me - j'adore!
Best song ever
OMG i love this
The photo on the "Crashing Down" album cover is my favourite photograph of The Nolans (ever). I echo others' comments about how disappointing it was that this wasn't a single. As a Nolan's fan, how can you not love and get into this? Crashing DOWN, DOWN...Down...Down...!
A great disco number. Sure to be revived on a vinyl disco night by me. They smashed it out the window with this track. Great production
Miss u Bernie. xx
his song is fabulous .. it should have been a massive hit
Good as ABBA and totally underrated outside the UK. The Nolans were fantastic
Steve, trying to get inside the head of ANY record buyers is mission impossible! You only have to look at songs that make No.1 in one country and hardly register in the next one. Yes, this track is much more "cutting edge" and throws the whole 'girly' group image of the 70s out the window but for whatever reason, either the stations wouldn't play it or , , , who knows. Just don't ponder on it too long or you'll end up a sad old bloke like me! Just enjoy it now.
And so the final curtain falls.. RIP
God rest ur soul Bernadette Therese Nolan u will be missed
always my fave nolans song!!
trying to get inside the head of british record buyers can be a VERY frustrating experience...after a STRING of UK hit singles stretching back to late 1979 this GEM was issued in mid '82 to unbelievable apathy!. I was conviced this would be hugh and still to this day consider it their best single. Why the record buyers would abandon them at this point is beyond me. Very special thanks to Micheal for posting.
Best vocals ever
AND ALL B4 THE SPICE GIRLS, THESE GUYS WERE THE FIRST ,
Met them loads of times loved their music
Lessssgo 2022
MEMORIES X THANKS FOR SHARING X

Coleen ( 2 minutes in ) reminds me of my wife 40 years ago She passed 7 weeks ago. RIP honey
