all that brings back such memories I remember to clean my flat on a Saturday morning listening to your first album with the sound well right harp yeah it's a good cleaning out it was a good quite a mullet in those days didn't you know every time you go away one it we all had fun I was really getting there bharden now the worst mallets are still in the Midwest Oh God oh not the worst one was the crew cut on top with really long hair billy wright is the worst mother thing is everyone had that
though so yeah now it looks funny isn't it so when was the last time you had an album out how many years is oh god in 97 I think so long Tessa why this big play well actually I did a swing out but it didn't come out here that was quite good fun because I did modern songs in a swing format I did lose yourself by Eminem and Enter Sandman by Metallica but we gave him a swing things know so it was good fun but that only came out in Europe some reason but this one's
out now Paul Young good thing yes why do you called it good thing well uh the the final track is called you're good things about to end which is the total opposite of what else is necessary so we kind of used that good thing as a tile yeah and we took it from there and what's the kind of what's the feel of this answer is back to R&B and soul like the q-tips which was just before I went solo and it's not that I haven't done anything over the last what 20 years I was working
with other musicians and I was trying things but the thing is the material that I did or was always quite diverse even on the first album you know that yes there was wherever ellonija and things like that but then no parlay was kind of it had a African influence to it and then there was a track of sex it was just out there Wow and some were quite rocky like comeback states so it becomes very difficult to know what a Paul Young album is and what it should be maybe that's the appeal that's you know
you're trying to get that diversity but putting it in the modern format was much harder whereas the loss Peckham units which is the other band I've got he's a tex-mex been so I mean a genre I don't know why yeah I just want people by Rick Astley he was on here last week especially one in the album charts yeah I want talking about the pants fit but I'm really glad I didn't work in I oh yeah we have to twerk okay before ladies just a so you could be number one who tell us what songs
are on there what sort of softer I went for rare ones the most well-known is probably l.o.v.e by Al Green Denis your good thing is about to end it was was by Lou Rawls that I believe in you which is just going to radio now with done by Johnny Taylor and that was one of my favorites when I was in the cutest now I've been saying through the show there was another reason that we office Lee wants to talk about the album there's one reason that you wanted to come on which was to set the
record straight about a few things so you've done some interviews obviously yeah and people have talked about you and your wife Stacy yeah because you split for a while and this word affair yes coming on and you were very you feel very strongly that you want to say it wasn't what 10 years on could because the thing was you know it's always best to say nothing is only our that's not right the minute you bring it up it perpetuates the whole thing particularly in the press so on here I can say it myself you can't
be all that it wasn't because you know Stacy hello Stacy really well you know winks or something it just comes out it does it if you go around you've had your hair done and phone you got that word and she does no justice he actually goes no never done that right but that's what a woman likes to hear you know so her friends lover you know and and so where she wasn't happy she said she wasn't happy so I knew or we knew and we we so discuss Lee and things went on from there but
then to constantly see it come up again it was in the third well basically since she's set against it like I'm not happy in the marriage I want this match to end she then had a relationship with is it lela lela yeah which you accepted they went on to have a child Jude yeah and and then when they split so you move on another thing is good thing making Sam but I'm raising my mouth but he's there he's 50 percent in yeah he's like Nancy it's just like a normal family you know it's not your
a blended family yeah yes yeah yeah but I love to do the good and the bad and everything you got on well because I went to a restaurant you were cooking in the restaurant the Atlanta Stacy we're running at the Tex night yeah that was really did you have a divorce though you and I police did you not even legally separate ah don't think so should you always think like mate sir yeah yes you're not the jealous type II you're not the jealous type what you want obviously one keen on it but Sir but then
you get through it and you come out the other side because do you think maybe you would get was it somewhere in news that why you managed to deal with it so you thought one day maybe I'll get her bad luck and I can tell you what I was thinking then but the thing is if you're raising children like a well-balanced kid comes from a well balanced yeah family so you have two great you have to deal with it you know yeah oh yeah the other three all grown up and doing their own thing yeah
doing credit really well maybe shooting the press a lot more but they're all doing well the greatest quality all sets into chemical engineering I saw not nowhere now he was always a clever boy yeah and did you have to explain to the kids or did you explain to the kids what was going on at that time did you always keep them in the loop yes yeah yeah yeah and so I saw plenty if then base all played plenty of me you know it was fine well they delighted when he got back together though I'd secretly
using that proper yeah yeah yeah but this whole load of Internet miss as well I'm a great footballer aren't the word yeah great yeah that's the true way yeah when the arms at school when they were choosing teams there'd be me and the spotty kid in the glasses they go you have this party with the glasses I was all for the football my birthday isn't in June that's the other Paul Young so I get to vote later you're one yeah it wasn't a leather suit on no polling site you've got ten seconds only one more
