Gaze is the The Beautiful South's tenth album. The release was supported by a tour entitled Gaze With The Beautiful South.'Persistently popular and defiantly uncool' (Time Out UK), The Beautiful South return with their ninth studio album. Illustrating why one in seven households in the UK own one of their records, 'Gaze' ('It's a short word that means a lot. It has depth. Plus it's a double meaning. And there is a song on the album about gay men' so says the singer, Paul Heaton) features 12 more vignettes of true pop and real life all penned once again by the invincible Paul Heaton and Dave Rotheray partnership. Another stunning mix of luscious melodies and delightfully subversive lyrics, standout tracks include the bittersweet 'Let Go With The Flow', the barbed '101 per cent Man' and the gorgeous, closing 'Last Waltz', featuring the band's fantastic new female vocalist, Alison 'Lady' Wheeler. Features 12 tracks including the single 'Just A Few Things That I Ain't', & packaged in a die-cut slipcase. Go Discs! 2003.
