Happy is one of Labi Siffre's lesser-known gems, a 1975 album of soul grooves and gentle songcraft, revived here on yellow vinyl as a UK import.
The London-born singer-songwriter had already written It Must Be Love and Crying Laughing Loving Lying when he signed to EMI, releasing two albums that year. Remember My Song leaned hard into funk and soul, and Happy followed by blending that sound with the warm, acoustic songwriting of his earlier records. Siffre wrote, arranged and produced it himself, and it was recorded at De Lane Lea in Wembley.
Love-A-Love-A-Love-A-Love-A-Love opens with a breezy, infectious bounce that lives up to the title. Doctor Doctor brings a playful swagger, while Sally Come To Stay shows his softer, storytelling side. You've Done Something To My Heart keeps Siffre's honeyed voice right up front, soulful and unhurried.
Backing vocals from Jackie Sullivan add extra warmth, and the arrangements balance tight rhythm sections with airy, melodic touches that never feel overcrowded. It is the sound of a songwriter comfortable in his own skin, moving easily between the dance floor and the front room.
Long overlooked in favour of his better-known hits, this album deserves fresh ears. On bright yellow wax, it lives up to its name and then some.
