Beautiful World is the sixth solo studio album by the English singer-songwriter Paul Carrack, then a member of the supergroup Mike + The Mechanics. It was originally released in 1997 on the Ark 21 label.
Album co-producer Gary Wallis was the drummer for Mike + The Mechanics at the time the album was issued, though he was at that juncture a session player and not an official member of the Mechanics. Wallis would join the revived version of Mike + The Mechanics as an official member in 2011, long after Carrack had left that group.
The album was a minor chart entry on the UK album charts, reaching #88. The album's associated single, "The Way I'm Feeling Tonight", peaked at #84 UK.[1]
AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine writes: "Beautiful World is a thoroughly enjoyable collection of polished, mature pop-soul that is another fine addition to Paul Carrack's catalog."
