Jimmy+somerville

You may not know his name, but you'll probably recognize his voice. Since the death of Klaus Nomi, Somerville has reigned as the best white falsetto singer in pop music; his soaring voice propelled Bronski Beat and the Communards to respectable chart positions (especially in Europe) during the 1980s, and his return to musical activity finds him in excellent form. Dare to Love doesn't really break much new ground for Somerville. He's still working the club floor with disco-inflected dance-pop, and his melodic sense is still as strong as ever – from the airborne melodic lines of "Heartbeat" to the down-and-dirty funk of "Alright," this album is a smorgasbord of pure pop pleasure.

Home Again is the fourth studio solo album by singer Jimmy Somerville, released in 2004. Highlights include 'It's So Good' (written with Paul Mac) and 'Come On' (written and recorded with Rosenstolz). An album of storming club and radio hits, maintaining a completely fresh and contemporary feel, thanks to the help of various internationally renowned producers and DJs. «But Not Tonight», the other cover, was only good enough as a B-side for fellow Eighties electro stalwarts Depeche Mode, but it is the revelation of the album. We hear a completely different version of Jimmy’s voice, to great effect.
