The band broke up amicably in 2007, wittily subversive to the end by citing the cause as " musical similarities." Since then, members Hemingway, Wheeler and Dave Stead have toured with other musicians as The South and the New Beautiful South, Heaton has recorded several solo albums and also reconvened with Jacqui Abbott, leading to the pair recording and touring again as a duo. McMullen, Marion (16 May 2014). "Beautiful times are here again". Birmingham Mail . Retrieved 1 September 2014. The album was followed by two more singles, both of which were flops. "My Book", which became the band's first single to chart outside the top 40, peaked at number 43, and "Let Love Speak Up Itself" reached number 51. VR1058 I keep trying to ride the coattails of excitement that were created when I discovered The Beautiful South in 2010, and a lot of the excitement abuzz with this new discovery came from my Prefab Sprout craze. I hadn't heard another sophisti-pop band until my ears came into this second one, The Beautiful South. You can bet that Miaow was a Tallahasseean delight, though I walked around and had a really really sad (and it could have become sadder if the crime rate of that area had made me into a logical statistic, but it had not) night the first time I heard them. The transformation that this band, the feelings their music come alongside to my life, and the way that they conceive their trusty brand of sophisti-pop is so wonderful... sometimes. I think, though, that a lot of my love has worn off with that mentioned, the debut, and even Blue is the Colour which tries to be as accessibly jazzy and soulful as can be. An album like this one might seem a bit snide or exclusive in comparison. Cover Version: Their covers include Pebbles' "Girlfriend" and Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin'", already Covered Up by Harry Nilsson. Eventually the band released Golddiggas, Headnodders and Pholk Songs, an (almost) note "This Old Skin" is presented as a cover of The Heppelbaums, who are actually The Beautiful South all-covers album, which featured songs by Willie Nelson ("Valentine"), Rufus Wainwright ("Rebel Prince"), The Ramones ("Blitzkrieg Bop") and Blue Öyster Cult ("Don't Fear the Reaper")!Choke and "A Little Time": Ryan, Gavin (2011).

With ex-Housemartins drummer Dave Hemmingway sharing vocal duties (but not playing drums), Welcome to the Beautiful South sets the tone with “Song for Whoever,” an irresistible melody supporting a biting lyric nailing the cynicism just below the surface of commercial love songs. Elsewhere, the material — co-written by Heaton and guitarist David Rotheray — is most effective when Heaton lets his guard down and shows some vulnerability (as he does in “You Keep It All In” and “I’ll Sail This Ship Alone”) and less so when taking gratuitous potshots at obvious targets (like Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon).

The band is best known for their biting wit and mastery of Lyrical Dissonance: Heaton and guitarist Dave Rotheray often wrote pleasant-sounding pop tunes paired with lyrics that were dark, satirical, political or otherwise atypical in some fashion. Depending on who you listen to, they were almost equally lauded and derided for this deployment of what was most frequently called "irony" under the cover of sweet melodies, leading to a not insubstantial Hate Dom as well as huge success.
