Description

N.K-Pop’ is the fifth studio album by Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott, both formerly members of The Beautiful South. K. Pop [3] [1]) is the fifth studio album by Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott, both formerly members of the Beautiful South.

K. Pop is firmly in the tradition of radio-friendly pop, it's the lyrics that give these songs their extra dimension", concluding that "There are songs on N. K. Pop that stand squarely alongside some of Heaton's best" and that the "famous fire of his shows no sign of being extinguished". The album's title is "a typical Heaton joke, a sly crack at the overproduced super-slick youth-centric flashiness of fashionable K-pop", with Heaton's "humorously grouchy conceit" being "to ally himself with its exact opposite". Great pop tunes with really well thought out lyrics, been a long time since I have listened to a CD twice while reading/ singing all the lyrics, favourite track are The Good Times and Still, real powerful stuff.

The album was released on 7 October 2022 by EMI Records, and preceded by the release of the lead single "Still". Paul Heaton was honoured at the Ivor Novello Awards 2022 with the ‘Outstanding Song Collection’, presented to him by long-time friend Peter Kay. It is the fifth UK number-one album for both overall, including their three number-one albums as part of the Beautiful South.

N.K-Pop adds another clutch of deliciously barbed pop songs to Heaton’s Ivor award winning song collection. K-Pop that are just witticisms, wordplay and easy on the ear melodies, bashed down in the studio with a certain vigour but no real imagination. Reviewing the album for Record Collector, Terry Staunton opined that there is "wry humour throughout" the album and that "Heaton remains the go-to chronicler of the Everyman condition" with Abbott providing "a vital contribution as both equal-billing foil and relatable conduit of female perspectives in these songs".
