Smokie - Babe Its Up To You
Review by Vinicius Vine
Babe It's Up To You is the seventh studio album by the British rock band Smokie. Released in 1979, the album features ten tracks of classic rock and pop tunes, including the hit singles "Babe It's Up To You" and "San Francisco Bay."
The album showcases the band's signature sound of catchy melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and tight harmonies. The opening track "It Won't Be Christmas" sets the tone for the album with its upbeat tempo and festive lyrics. The title track "Babe It's Up To You" is a standout track with its catchy chorus and memorable guitar riffs.
Other notable tracks on the album include "San Francisco Bay," a cover of the classic folk song that showcases lead singer Chris Norman's soulful vocals, and "Take Good Care of My Baby," a cover of the Bobby Vee hit that features the band's tight harmonies.
