Leading off with the title track, which is been heard recently all over public television, the King's Singers demonstrate their usual facility with any sort of arrangement or style. 'New Day' is a simple tune, essentially contemporary folk in style, with an uncomplicated arrangement that gives the blend of the voices preeminence. 'Noveau Poor' is tongue-in-cheek wit at its most profligate ('we're in Burke's Peerage, we're in 'Who's Who,' we're in the red, and in penury too.' ). 'What's In A Tune' tosses a salad comprised of various classical melodies, sung a cappella and fully orchestrated-all vocally, of course. 'Can't Buy Me Love' is arranged as a sixteenth century madrigal.
