![]() ![]() “ M People’s Elegant Slumming has no legacy. As a 2015 review from Sputnik Music explains, it is a pity that Elegant Slumming does not get the same attention as Britpop albums from the time: Elegant Slumming is one of those albums from the ‘90s that does not get talked about too much. In one of the biggest years for Britpop, an album with a more House/Soul feel went on to scoop a huge prize. Released in 1993, the album stunned the music world by winning the Mercury Music Prize in 1994 – beating off competition from the likes of Blur, Pulp, and Primal Scream. The two songs from M People that I have just mentioned were included on their second album, Elegant Slumming. I will get to looking at the song itself in a minute. I really like M People and, when it comes to the best song from them, I would say Moving on Up is right up there – I think that One Night in Heaven tops Moving on Up. I think there are some that feel the Manchester-formed band are reserved for a certain audience and that their songs are not that great. That said, as with every song I include in this feature, I have seen M People’s Moving on Up described as a guilty pleasure. The band being a guilty pleasure rather than the song. ![]()
