Brought up on the archetypical sounds of Little Richard, Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley, rockstar Chris Norman pays his respects to the king himself, as he releases his latest album ‘Rediscovered Love Songs’. The upcoming covers album is composed of 12 of the biggest ballads and love songs ever written, by artists like The Temptations, Elvis and Roy Orbison. Scheduled for release on the 21st of October 2022, the album will feature the lead single ‘Always On My Mind’, a cover of Elvis Presley's classic which will be released on the 7th of October.

Now, with over 20 solo albums to his name, Chris’ newest collection of hits is sounding better than ever. The tracks are hallmarks of a true singer-songwriter with timeless melodies and memorable harmonies that soar. Recorded and produced in Nashville, Tennessee with a team of local Nashville legends, ‘Always on My Mind’ is an instant classic, highlighting Chris’ unique and instantly recognisable voice, that also does the romantic original justice it’s worth.

Talking about the album, Chris says, "I have long wanted to record an album with these lovely romantic numbers, as they are songs that I myself love and think are lovely to perform. I have selected the songs that are close to my heart and that I can "find myself in" and sing with personal nerve and soul".

The album follows Chris’ recent placement in the soundtrack to the Paul Thomas Anderson movie ‘Licorice Pizza’. Chris’ duet with Suzi Quatro’s ‘Stumblin’ In’ features prominently in the movie and, because of this, is currently trending on social media. The track is fast approaching 100 million streams on Spotify alone, as well as recently being added to major editorial playlists such as ‘Yacht Rock’, ‘Easy 70s’ and ‘All Out 70s’.

Celebrated as the frontman for the giant 70’s rock band Smokie, who had countless hits with notorious singles such as ‘Living next door to Alice’, ‘I’ll meet you at Midnight’, ‘Lay back in the arms of Someone’ and ‘If You Think You Know How To Love Me’. Chris’ distinctive vocal tone wrapped itself around an iconic guitar rock sound, creating a sort of mixture between Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Since leaving the band in 1986, Chris Norman has gone on to carve a successful solo career, his debut single ‘Midnight Lady’ went on to become a massive hit throughout Europe including holding the No.1 spot in Germany for 6 weeks!
