The story behind
The song *How Could I Fall* by Simply Red, with its 4:45 duration, invites us to immerse ourselves in a carefully crafted sonic atmosphere. The recording featured engineering by Daren Klein, who also handled the mixing, while mastering was done by Bernie Grundman. In production, we find the vision of Mick Hucknall alongside Stewart Levine, a combination that aimed to shape a particular sound.
This track is part of the album Stars, released on September 30, 1991. This record, the British band's fourth work, had a considerable impact, especially in their home country. Singles such as Stars and For Your Babies were released from it, reaching the top positions on the charts. The album Stars was a resounding worldwide success, and in the United Kingdom, it became the best-selling album of the year in both 1991 and 1992, something that hadn't happened since Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge over Troubled Water in 1970–1971. By April 2019, it ranked as the fourteenth best-selling album of all time in the UK. The album was also considered for the 1992 Mercury Prize and, in the year 2000, Q magazine included it in its list of "The 100 Greatest British Albums Ever".
