Greatest Hits Rediscovered

‘Rediscovered Love Songs’ is the new album from Chris Norman - the legendary voice behind Smokie's greatest hits. The album contains new interpretations of 12 of the greatest ballads and love songs ever written, by a diverse range of artists such as The Temptations, Roy Orbison, Bruno Mars and Lady A. It was recorded and produced in Nashville, Tennessee with a team of local Nashville legends and it can be heard! Chris Norman on ‘Rediscovered Love Songs’: "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".

Prince's star faded not long after he won emancipation from Warner Brothers in 1995, as he abandoned the mainstream so he could follow his whims however he liked. Which meant that he effectively started making records for nobody but himself, whether that meant triple-disc collections of new material or an all-instrumental smooth jazz album, and in short order, his fans started dwindling away to nothing but the hardcore, who themselves had their patience tried by such antics as Prince suing his own fanzine in the late '90s. It seemed that he was fated to permanently wander in the wilderness, making music for an ever more selective audience, until he suddenly decided in 2004 that he wanted to be back in the game, returning to the spotlight with acclaimed performances at the Grammys and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, announcing an all-hits tour, and releasing Musicology, his first major-label distributed album in five years…

Rock music in the 1980s had completely lost the gritty feel of earlier eras, until Lenny Kravitz rediscovered the magic formula. Kravitz's sonic template combined good old-fashioned rock & roll with glam, soul, and psychedelia, making him a massive success. He made a splash straight out of the gate with his album Let Love Rule. After that, he de-emphasized the flower-power aspects of his music and began moving toward a heavier rock sound. This progression brought him such huge hits as "Are You Gonna Go My Way" and a hard-rocking cover of the Guess Who's "American Woman." Along the way, his flamboyant image, model-like looks, and frequent acting roles made him a fixture in pop-music circles.
