Coffee in New York on CD

The Korgis, formed in 1978 by James Warren and Andy Davis after their time in Stackridge, broke through with hits like "If I Had You" and the worldwide smash "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime," followed by South American success with Trevor Horn's "Don't Look Back." Mismanagement and lineup changes stalled their momentum, but after a brief '90s comeback attempt, they re-emerged in 2017 with a fresh lineup, new energy, and eventually Kartoon World (2021), hailed as a career high. Collaborations with writer and guitarist Joe Matera brought strong new songs, while 2023's Orchestrations reimagined classics with lush arrangements. In 2024, they released their most ambitious project yet, the double concept album UN-United Nations, tackling global issues while honoring their roots, with additional material later expanded by Al Steele on Alienated Nations. With reworked classics like "Coffee in New York" and a brand-new orchestral take on "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime," The Korgis continue to prove their knack for reinvention while staying true to the sound that first put them on the map.
