Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel – Love's A Prima Donna
Released in 1976, Love's A Prima Donna is one of Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel's most refined and theatrical albums, combining intelligent songwriting, glamorous art rock, and sophisticated pop arrangements. Arriving after the worldwide success of Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me), the album showcases Harley's unmistakable voice and lyrical wit while embracing a more polished and melodic direction.
One of Britain's most distinctive singer-songwriters, Steve Harley carved out a unique place in the glam and art rock movement with his poetic lyrics, dramatic performances, and eclectic musical influences. Backed by Cockney Rebel, he continued to push creative boundaries, blending rock, cabaret, folk, and orchestral pop into a sound that remains instantly recognisable.
The album features the UK hit single (I Believe) Love's A Prima Donna, one of Harley's most memorable solo-era recordings, alongside beautifully crafted songs such as Seeking A Love, GI Valentine, Too Much Tenderness, and (If This Is Love) Give Me More. A thoughtful interpretation of Here Comes The Sun offers a fresh take on the Beatles classic, while Carry Me Again and Innocence And Guilt further demonstrate Harley's gift for expressive storytelling and memorable melodies.
Filled with rich arrangements, emotional performances, and elegant songwriting, Love's A Prima Donna remains an underrated gem within Steve Harley's catalogue and an essential listen for fans of intelligent British rock.
Perfect for fans of Roxy Music, David Bowie, 10cc, Be-Bop Deluxe, and Supertramp, this album is a superb addition to any collection of glam rock, art rock, and classic British rock on vinyl.
