Michael Ball and Alfie Boe release their new music video today to accompany their new album together which is released on November 4.
With a track list that includes a Les Miserables Suite (Bring Him Home, Empty Chairs at Empty Tables, I Dreamed A Dream), Somewhere (West Side Story), Music Of The Night (Phantom Of The Opera), Anthem (Chess), Speak Softly Love (The Godfather), Tell Me It’s Not True (Blood Brothers), Incurably Romantic (Let’s Make Love), I’ll Build A Stairway To Paradise (An American In Paris), Wonderful World / Over The Rainbow, For Once In My Life, A Thousand Years (Twilight), When You Wish Upon A Star (Pinocchio), You’ll Never Walk Alone (Carousel) and I’ll Be Home For Christmas this album look set to be an enduring favourite for fans of the pair and for lovers of musical theatre.
Michael Ball says of the project, “It’s been my experience that there is only one thing I enjoy more than working with someone whose talent I admire and who constantly challenges them- selves to try new things and keeps getting better, therefore making me work harder and try to be better, and that is to work with someone who makes me laugh, has my back and is a real friend. With Alfie I think I’ve hit the jackpot. This is going to be such a great experience for us and hope- fully the audiences….bring it on!!!”
Alfie Boe says, “My job provides me with great opportunities and none more so as this. The chance to perform with an artist, whose work and talent I’ve admired for years, is such a great ho– nour for me. Michael has inspired so many singers, including myself, to push themselves further in the crossover field. My philosophy on crossover is more about crossing over the audience than the music, and Michael proved years ago that this was possible. His mainstream appeal in con- temporary, musical theatre and classical is evident in his history. A great artist, a fabulous singer, and a wonderful friend. As Michael says, Bring It on!!!”
Alfie and Michael will undertake a major tour in November and December to promote the album. There are still tickets available at some performances. Watch out for our interview with Michael and Alfie which will be published on the website next week.
