Background and release
In 2014, Human Nature released Jukebox; an album of 1950s and 60s pop standards. The album peaked at number 2 on the ARIA Charts and was certified platinum. Gimme Some Lovin' is the follow up to Jukebox.[3]
Promotional videos were released for "Gimme Some Lovin'", "Be My Baby" and "Forgive Me Now" throughout July 2016.[4]
Review
Jessica Mule from Renowned for Sound gave the album 3 stars out of 5 saying; "Human Nature had a mission. And that mission was to recreate and cover the perfect old school jukebox playlist for the second time round" but at time pondered if she'd heard them do these songs before. Mule complemented on the sole original track on the album, "Forgive Me Now" saying it's "An echoed plea of apology, with quite a beautiful tone and build up, starting with an acoustic plucked guitar and vocal, before adding in the background harmonies, drums, and strings. It just goes to remind us that Human Nature can perform more than just covers.[5]
