With that in mind, this longtime Spandau Ballet fan and supporter (see my past coverage elsewhere on this blog), highly recommends this CD. I'm anxious to hear the bonus tracks...
Tony Hadley is 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), a successful tour - including a sold out July 2015 gig at the Pacific Amphitheatre in Orange County, Calif. - Hadley stepped out later that year 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, previously only available as an import, gets a domestic release Oct. 21 via Omnivore Recordings with three new tunes.
