Official video for Solstice Kiss. From Simple Minds’ eighteenth studio album, Direction Of The Heart.
“Occasionally a song emerges where you try to evoke both the spirit of the times and the surrounding landscape that brought it into being. Solstice Kiss is one of those songs.“ - Jim Kerr
‘Solstice Kiss’ is available now via digital and streaming platforms:
Pre-order ‘Solstice Kiss’ as a Limited Edition Collectors 12” single vinyl: (Release date 9th October 2023).
With Celtic textures underpinning its widescreen melodrama and Sarah Brown’s infernal vocals, ‘Solstice Kiss’ is a standout moment, a firm fan favourite and the fourth and final single to be released from the acclaimed album that reached number 4 in the official album charts.
The song written by the band’s Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill and Ged Grimes was selected by Scottish whisky distiller The Macallan as the soundtrack to their ‘Spirit of 1926’ Global Marketing Campaign. The official video was also made in collaboration with The Macallan.

Formed in the seventies, and named after a lyric – ‘so simple minded’ – from David Bowie’s seminal 1972 single The Jean Genie, Simple Minds have become one of the most successful bands ever to come from the UK, selling over 60 million records worldwide, having number one singles on both sides of the Atlantic, and number one albums the world over, including five UK number one albums: Sparkle In The Rain (1984), Once Upon A Time (1985) and Street Fighting Years as well as the concert recording Live In The City Of Light (1987), and the compilation Glittering Prize 81/92.
Over the past 10 years Simple Minds has rekindled the magic that made them a vital artistic force in their early days, found themselves referenced by younger artists and playing to tens of thousands of people every year, all over the world. They have been the recipient of the Q Awards Lifetime Achievement and received universal critical acclaim for their recent albums. 2015’s Big Music was described by MOJO magazine as “their best album in 30 years”, and 2018’s Walk Between Worlds saw Simple Minds play their largest US tour to date and, along with 2022’s Direction Of The Heart, charted at number 4 in the UK.
Simple Minds are: Jim Kerr (vocals), Charlie Burchill (guitars, keyboards), Gordy Goudie (acoustic guitar), Ged Grimes (bass), Cherisse Osei (drums), and Sarah Brown (vocals).
