Kid Creole And The Coconuts - I Stand Accused

Review by Rhiannon Angell

Kid Creole and the Coconuts' album, "I Stand Accused," is a funky and lively record that showcases the group's unique blend of Caribbean, Latin, and pop music. The album features 11 tracks that are filled with catchy hooks, infectious rhythms, and playful lyrics that will make you want to dance.

The album's title track, "I Stand Accused," is a standout with its upbeat tempo and funky horn section. The song's lyrics tell the story of a man who is falsely accused of a crime, but instead of getting down about it, he decides to dance his way out of trouble. It's a fun and uplifting song that perfectly captures the spirit of Kid Creole and the Coconuts.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Endicott," a catchy pop tune that features Kid Creole's smooth vocals and a groovy guitar riff, and "Caroline Was a Drop-Out," a funky disco-inspired track that will get your feet moving. The album also includes several slower, more introspective tracks, such as "Table Manners" and "The Lifeboat Party," which showcase Kid Creole's ability to write poignant and thoughtful lyrics.
