Andy Bell (Erasure) releases a new solo album, “Ten Crowns”, on May 2nd.
The new album features 10 brand new tracks of dazzling, joyous pop, inspired by the dancefloor and gospel, which includes an incredible collaboration with Andy Bell's idol Debbie Harry. 'Ten Crowns' was written with, and produced by, the Grammy-winning US producer, remixer and DJ, Dave Audé.
Formats include limited-edition white vinyl packaged in a glorious gatefold sleeve, a single CD edition with lyric book, and a deluxe 2-CD book pack version which includes an exclusive continuous DJ mix of the full album by Dave Audé which will not appear on streaming services, alongside additional and exclusive photos.
The first track released, ‘Breaking Thru the Interstellar’, is also the track that opens the album with a cosmic flash, and sees Andy dance us “towards another paradise… ready for a new dimension/On our galactic journey”. Inspired by Andy’s love of reading BBC science magazines, and the possible existence of wormholes that allow travel through space, the song also reminds him of Boney M’s ‘Nightflight to Venus’ and Leila K’s ‘Open
Sesame’. “It's on first because I wanted to let people know we're going to go
for a ride now, you know!”
Andy Bell will be embarking on a UK tour in May 2025, which will see Andy premiere these new tracks live alongside a sparkling selection of Erasure hits and solo favourites.
