Going Back

Phil Collins

A meticulous, warm-hearted recreation of the Motown songbook. Eschewing modern gloss for vintage soul, it sounds like a love letter to the 1960s.

A celebratory and deeply reverent homage to the golden era of soul music.

Moments Worth Listening For
The authentic snap of the snare and tambourine on Heatwave that perfectly mimics the 1963 original.
The sprawling six-minute groove of Papa Was a Rolling Stone where the bassline anchors a cinematic tension.
The vulnerable, stripped-back vocal delivery on the title track Going Back that closes the album on a reflective note.
