After working as a solo artist following the demise of The Beautiful South, Paul Heaton invited Jacqui Abbott, one of its female vocalists, to record songs together, following a break to raise her son. The collaboration worked well; they released several albums as well as touring and playing live. They cover a mixture of new and earlier material, inlcuding songs from The Beautiful South and The Housemartins‘ back catalogue. In 2020, the duo’s fourth album, Manchester Calling, reached No.1 in the UK album chart.
N.K-Pop is the fifth studio album by Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott, both formerly members of The Beautiful South.
