New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Tony Hadley was the soulful front man for the hugely popular 1980s New Romantic band Spandau Ballet. After fifteen Top 10 singles (including the #1 smash �True�) the group took a 20-year hiatus before reforming in 2009, again hitting the U.K. Top 10 with their reunion album, Once More. Following an acclaimed 2014 documentary about the band (Soul Boys of the Western World, directed by Julien Temple) and a successful tour, Hadley stepped out in 2015 with The Christmas Album, his first holiday offering, showing the same adventurous spirit while doing what he does best � making every song his own.
The album is due out October 21, 2016 on Omnivore Recordings.
Including standards like �White Christmas,� �Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!� and �Santa Claus Is Coming To Town,� The Christmas Album moves effortlessly into the �50s with Chuck Berry�s �Run Run Rudolph,� the �70s with �I Believe In Father Christmas� (Greg Lake of Emerson Lake & Palmer), The Pogues� �Fairytale Of New York� from the �80s, and into the current century with Keane�s �Somewhere Only We Know� as well as originals. Previously only available as an import, this 2016 version of The Christmas Album adds three new tracks for its introduction to the world.
From �Have Yourself A Merry
Little Christmas� (a duet with Kim Wilde) to �Shake Up Christmas� (co-written by
Butch Walker and
Pat Monahan of Train), The Christmas Album delivers to the romantic, the new romantic and every generation in between.
A new holiday classic? We know this much is true.
