“Let’s Call It Quits” is a gritty, blues-infused single by Slade, showcasing a more mature and stripped-down sound compared to the wild, glam-rock anthems that made them famous in the early ’70s. The song was featured on their album Nobody’s Fools, marking a period where the band experimented with American influences during their time in the U.S.
Slade – Let’s Call It Quits
The track is driven by bluesy guitar riffs, a solid bass groove, and Noddy Holder’s raw, powerful vocals.
It’s slower and more laid-back than their earlier hits like “Cum On Feel the Noize” or “Mama Weer All Crazee Now”, but still packed with attitude.
The song reflects Slade’s effort at the time to broaden their musical style, influenced by the Southern rock and blues sounds they encountered in America.
“Let’s Call It Quits” reached #11 on the UK Singles Chart, proving that even with a stylistic shift, Slade could still deliver hits.
The song’s bluesy swagger was a deliberate move as the band sought to connect with American audiences — though their greatest success remained in the UK and Europe.
Despite being less bombastic than their glam rock anthems, the song is now appreciated as one of Slade’s most polished and underrated singles.
