Album Review: Pink Champagne – Pink Champagne
If you’re a sucker for music that feels like a warm hug, then Pink Champagne by Pink Champagne is your jam. This UK-based album blends pop and jazz with a side of easy listening and swing vibes. It’s the kind of record that makes you want to pour yourself a fizzy drink, kick off your shoes, and just vibe. Released under Not On Label, it’s got this raw charm that feels personal, like they made it just for you.
Now, let’s talk tracks. The album kicks off with “Mr. Sandman,” and oh boy, does it set the tone. There’s something about the smooth vocals and dreamy delivery that sticks in your head. You know how some songs feel like they were written for late-night drives or lazy Sunday mornings? Yeah, this one nails that mood perfectly. I found myself humming it hours later, even though I don’t think I’ve ever actually met a Mr. Sandman.
Another standout is “Misty.” It’s got this sultry, slow-burn energy that just pulls you in. The singer’s voice has this velvety quality—like hot cocoa on a rainy day—and the arrangement gives off major old-school Hollywood vibes. It’s the kind of track that makes you wanna grab someone (or no one at all) and sway around the room pretending you’re in a black-and-white movie.
The rest of the album keeps the groove alive with gems like “Don’t Sit Under The Apple Tree” and “Swinging On A Star.” Each song feels like its own little story, full of personality and heart. And honestly, who doesn’t love a good cover done right? Tracks like “Gonna Sit Right Down (And Write Myself A Letter)” bring back nostalgia while still feeling fresh.
What surprised me most about Pink Champagne is how effortlessly it mixes genres. One moment you’re vibing to jazzy beats, and the next, you’re tapping your foot to a poppy swing tune. It’s not trying too hard to impress—it just does.
Final thoughts? This album reminds me of those random thrift store finds where you go, “Wow, this is kinda perfect.” Listening to it felt like hanging out with an old friend who always knows how to cheer you up. Except… now I kinda wish they’d included a recipe for actual pink champagne somewhere in the liner notes. Guess I’ll have to figure that out myself!
