About Level 42

Level 42 is a British jazz-funk band formed in 1980 on the Isle of Wight, who became pioneers of sophisticated pop-funk with Mark King's distinctive slap bass technique and Mike Lindup's jazzy keyboards. Their breakthrough album "World Machine" (1985) spawned massive hits like "Something About You" and "Lessons in Love," which perfectly balanced complex musicianship with irresistible pop hooks. The band evolved from underground jazz-funk purists to mainstream chart-toppers, with "Running in the Family" continuing their commercial success while maintaining their signature tight rhythms and melodic sophistication. Their influence on 1980s British pop and the integration of jazz sensibilities into accessible dance music remains significant, inspiring countless musicians to explore the boundaries between technical prowess and popular appeal.
