    The Colour of Spring - Talk Talk

    Album Description

    Talk Talk's third studio album, The Colour of Spring, marked a significant departure from their previous two albums in terms of style. Released on 17 February 1986, this iconic album combines elements of jazz and art pop, showcasing the band's willingness to experiment and push boundaries. Written by Mark Hollis and producer Tim Friese-Greene, The Colour of Spring features a more organic approach to instrumentation and production, with synthesizers rarely used, making way for a more nuanced and mature sound.

    This 45-minute album is a masterclass in atmospheric soundscapes, with tracks like "Happiness is Easy", "Life's What You Make It", and "Living in Another World" showcasing the band's ability to craft infectious, pulse-driven melodies. The album's sweeping arrangements and poetic lyrics create a sense of depth and complexity, making it an engaging listen from start to finish.

    The Colour of Spring was a commercial success, reaching the top 10 in several countries and becoming Talk Talk's highest-selling non-compilation studio album. Released on Parlophone UK, this new wave and synthpop-infused album has stood the test of time, with its influence still felt in the music world today. With its unique blend of jazz, art pop, and rock elements, The Colour of Spring is an essential listen for fans of Talk Talk and anyone looking to explore the band's innovative and influential discography.

    About Talk Talk

    Talk Talk, formed in London in 1981, began as a synth-pop group, quickly gaining traction with their debut album "The Party's Over" and follow-up "It's My Life," both of which spawned international hits like "Talk Talk" and "It's My Life." Their sound evolved significantly over the years, blending new wave and synthpop elements with more experimental and jazz-influenced styles. The band's 1986 album "The Colour of Spring" was a critical success, featuring the beloved singles "Life's What You Make It" and "Living in Another World." Their 1988 release "Spirit of Eden" marked a bold shift towards a more atmospheric and improvisational sound, laying the groundwork for the post-rock genre. Despite commercial challenges, Talk Talk's innovative approach and rich musical evolution have left a lasting impact on the music world.
