Mike Tyler

Mike Batt’s long and varied career is celebrated on his new Penultimate Collection double album, with tracks highlighting his work as performer, composer, arranger and key British musical figure – but especially as performer.Not only does it feature Batt’s original solo material – including his international solo hits – but also his own versions of songs he wrote for other artists. The Closest Thing To Crazy, Bright Eyes, A Winter’s Tale, Caravan Song and I Feel Like Buddy Holly are given Mike’s own distinctive treatment, alongside his orchestral works, and contributions from Colin Blunstone, Bonnie Tyler and Family’s Roger Chapman.

"Goodbye to the Island" is the 4th studio album by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler. It became her final work with RCA Records after it was released in January 1981. Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe wrote the majority of songs for the album, and co-produced the record with Hugh Murphy. Music critics described the album as "more upbeat" than her previous album Diamond Cut (1979). "Goodbye to the Island" had the weakest sales of all albums Tyler released through RCA, only charting in Norway at #38.

The best of Bonnie Tyler's work with Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe, the production/writing team move more towards the pop side and away from the country flourishes which marked Tyler's first two albums. From the terrific opener "If You Ever Need Me Again" through to the closing "I'm a Fool," this is a solid collection of pop songs including soulful ballads ("Words Can Change Your Life"), saucy anthems ("My Guns Are Loaded") and moving singalongs ("Too Good to Last"). As with her two previous releases, there are also wonderfully interpreted covers ("Louisiana Rain" being the highlight). All in all, Diamond Cut is definitely the high point of Tyler's pre-Jim Steinman career and a dynamite showcase for Tyler's inimitable voice.

Best known for his post-millennial science fiction and horror film work, Tyler Bates is a composer whose work also includes television series and video game soundtracks, as well as guitar and production duties for Marilyn Manson. Born in Los Angeles, California, he grew up in Chicago and was introduced to a wide range of music by his mother. He began composing music as a teenager and eventually moved from Chicago to Los Angeles in 1993 to pursue a career as a film music composer.

As Grammy®-nominated, worldwide multi-platinum selling singer-songwriter-producer Mike Posner (“I Took A Pill In Ibiza,” “Cooler Than Me”) continues on his Walk Across America, he commemorates crossing the California state line by dropping a new mixtape, Keep Going, out now via Island Records/Universal Music Canada, the country's leading music company.
