Introducción: el comienzo de la fiesta

"Take That & Party" es el álbum de estudio debut de la boy band británica Take That, lanzado en 1992. Este disco es el punto de partida de uno de los mayores fenómenos del pop en la historia del Reino Unido. Musicalmente, es un trabajo de dance-pop y Europop vibrante y enérgico, diseñado para las pistas de baile y la radio. Aunque el álbum está compuesto en gran parte por versiones de clásicos del disco y el soul, también contiene las primeras composiciones del genio emergente de Gary Barlow, incluyendo la icónica balada "A Million Love Songs". Aunque inicialmente tuvo un comienzo lento, el álbum finalmente se convirtió en un éxito masivo, lanzando la carrera de la banda y sentando las bases para el dominio de las boy bands en la década de los 90.

El origen del álbum

Formados por el mánager Nigel Martin-Smith en Mánchester, Take That (Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald, Jason Orange y un joven Robbie Williams) pasaron sus primeros años actuando en pequeños clubs y escuelas. El álbum fue grabado con una variedad de productores para crear un sonido de pop bailable y comercial. La estrategia fue lanzar una serie de sencillos para construir gradualmente una base de fans. Los primeros singles tuvieron un éxito modesto, y no fue hasta el lanzamiento de sus versiones de clásicos como "It Only Takes a Minute" y "Could It Be Magic" que la banda explotó en las listas de éxitos.

Las canciones del disco

"It Only Takes a Minute": Una enérgica versión del clásico de Tavares. Se convirtió en su primer éxito Top 10 en el Reino Unido y demostró su habilidad para crear pop bailable y contagioso.

"A Million Love Songs": La primera gran balada escrita por un Gary Barlow de tan solo 15 años. Es una pieza de piano atemporal que demostró que había un compositor de un talento extraordinario detrás de la fachada de boy band.

"Could It Be Magic": Su versión del clásico de Barry Manilow, con un arreglo de dance-pop, se convirtió en uno de sus mayores éxitos y un pilar de sus conciertos.

Cifras y huella posterior

"Take That & Party" fue un gran éxito comercial, alcanzando el puesto número 2 en el Reino Unido, donde fue certificado doble platino. Su legado es el de ser el álbum que introdujo al mundo a la boy band más exitosa de la historia del Reino Unido, un disco lleno de la energía y el optimismo del pop de principios de los 90.

  4. It only takes a minute

    Letra

    It only takes a minute girl (music)It only takes a minute girl To fall in love, to fall in love It only takes a minute girl To fall in love, to fall in love What's an hour of the day We throw at least one away And walk the streets for half the year To try to find a new career If you get a flu attack For thirty days you're on your back Doing not a single dance Baby give me half a chance It only takes a minute girl To fall in love, to fall in love It only takes a minute girl To fall in love, to fall in love Now in the unemployment lines You can spend your life reading signs Waiting for your interview They can shoot the whole day for you Now winter's gonna turn to spring And you haven't accomplished a thing So baby can't you make me just a little time Cause you never know what's on my mind It only takes a minute girl To fall in love, to fall in love It only takes a minute girl To fall in love, to fall in love Dance, come on now Dance, come n now
  5. A million love songs

    Letra

    Put your head against my life What do you hear A million words just trying to make The love song of the year Close your eyes but don't forget What you have heard A man who's trying to say three words The words that make me scared A million love songs later And here I am trying to tell you that I care A million love songs later And here I am Looking to the future now This is what I see A million chances pass me by A million chances to hold you Take me back, take me back To where I used to be To hide away from all my truth Through the light I see A million love songs later And here I am trying to tell you that I care A million love songs later And here I am.

    Baby I'm watching you to see I don't like the way you've been treating me I promised you nothing and gave you much more Making love is all you wanted me for You're never satisfied, you're never satisfied If you open your mind you'll see That you could be satisfied with me Baby you criticize my every move Look, can't you see I've nothing to prove I've had enough, it's a matter of time Maybe we'll make it somewhere down the line You can be if you wanna be [x 3] I often wonder what I see in you You don't do the things that I want you to do I open my eyes and dream it's alright Maybe we'll make it together tonight.
  7. I can make it

    Letra

    I'm tired of closing my eyes to picture you in my mind It feels so cold to be alone Not sure where I want to be, so close to finding my dream We need to hold on to all the times we spoke of love Now I pray to God above that someday I can find the door I'm looking for I can make it I know I can I can save this love forever I can make it I know I can We can make this work together It's not a lonely man's dream, it's just that now that there's been A taste of love in my life That I refuse to return, I've got so much still to learn How can I feel as though I've reached the top of this steep hill For a moment I was standing still Now I have the faith I've needed to believe 'Cause you know what this love means to me You know how it feels when I can see it in your face That you're missing me now, you feel I've let you down You've gotta hold on, you've gotta reach out and believe I an make this world a better place for me and you We can make it, we can make it together

    Letra

    Standing back I can't believe how you've led me on And judging by the things you say There's gotta be something wrong [CHORUS:] What you telling me that for you don't mean it What you telling me that for I don't believe it Your promises have never been anything you made them seem So what you gonna promise me this time You're telling lies so plain to see, you're trying to make a fool of me So what you gonna promise me this time I wanna know Seems that I've been playing your game And how you think you've won But when you count up what you've gained you're the lonely one [CHORUS x 2] I'll never know What you telling me for. [ETC]
