Russell Watson releases his excellent new album in March, his first non-classical album release. That's Life is a timeless collection of classic love songs from a golden era of music - a unique transition for Russell from classical, featuring well-known hits from legends like Sinatra to Nat King Cole and Matt Monro.
It has been an eventful year for Russell who during recording of That’s Life discovered he had a brain tumour. Now on the road to recovery, Russell has finished making a record that is very special to him and has taken him on an emotional journey into the non-classical world.
With five million worldwide album sales to his name, and the fastest selling classical album since The Three Tenors, Russell Watson has more than earned his position in the UK Music Hall of Fame. His debut album broke worldwide records by spending an entire year at No.1 in the UK Classical chart and he has achieved Gold, Platinum and Double Platinum success with every subsequent album release. These achievements make him one of the biggest selling recording artists in the UK, above the likes of Madonna.
That’s Life sees Russell sing timeless ballads like ‘Strangers In The Night’, ‘Let There Be Love’, ‘I Left My Heart in San Francisco’ and ‘Born Free’. The album also includes a duet with Alexander O’Neal.
One of the only classical artists to cross both classical and contemporary genres with his music, Russell’s new album is a fitting tribute to the great singers of years gone by.
