"Kaleidoscope World" by Swing Out Sister (Full Album Listen)

"Kaleidoscope World" is the second studio album by the British band Swing Out Sister. Coming after a spectacular It's Better to Travel (1987), I remembered my anticipation was high, and I was not disappointed.



Released in 1989, the soundscape quite literally went "widescreen" with the inclusion of orchestral splendour, leaning very heavily into a classic 60s-retro-flavour, relaxingly playful soda-POP, and seemingly not taking themselves too seriously, and I had not been as effortlessly charmed since, for an entire cohesive album. This is a MUST-HAVE album, as far as I am concerned.

The Full Album listen I am attempting today, is based off the tracks found in the CD release. Enjoy!
