Jimmy Somerville releases new single 'Back to Me' !!!
The euphoric joy of Disco has been one consistent thread which has run through the diverse, illustrious thirty-year career of Pop legend Jimmy Somerville. Famous for re-making Disco classics as his own, Jimmy Somerville will release ‘Back to Me’, his first original disco-styled single on 19th September. ‘Back to Me’ written by Jimmy is a taster of his forthcoming album ‘Homage’, which, as the title suggests, is an homage to the Disco era. The emphasis throughout the recording of this new album has been on achieving the musical authenticity of the original disco era Jimmy grew up with and loves so much.
“My new single 'Back to Me' has a groove to get your toe to move, or if you're feeling carefree.... all ten! A warm and tender love song to ease us into autumn with romance. It's a gentle taster of what's to come on the album 'Homage'." - Jimmy Somerville (The Communards / Bronski Beat)
Some of the biggest selling tracks amongst Jimmy Somerville’s colourful and vast back catalogue are his unique takes on some of the anthems that defined the Disco era. Covers of classics such as 'You make me Feel (Mighty Real) ,Never can say Goodbye, Don’t leave me this Way' and 'I feel Love' saw Jimmy bring his upbeat sensibility to these tracks along with his unique, instantly identifiable voice; one of the defining voices of our times. The recording of 'Homage' saw Jimmy undertake a painstaking replication of the sounds of vintage Disco anthems, which inspired him and has been an extended labor of love. The result is a tribute an homage - to the hedonistic disco soundtracks of the late 1970's. thirty years after the release of 'Smalltown Boy', this all new celebratory chapter in Jimmy’s career starts right here with this new single ‘Back to Me’.
