UK Hitmakers Cutting Crew Release First New Album In Ten Years!
UK Hitmakers Cutting Crew Release First New Album In Ten Years!
OUT NOW!
London,
UK - CUTTING CREW has announced details of their first new material
for ten years. The multi-million selling, Grammy nominated UK outfit
fronted by Nick Van Eede were responsible for one of the biggest hits
of the 1980s - with (I
Just) Died In Your Arms – and the band’s revelatory new album entitled Add
To Favourites
is their strongest to date and is OUT NOW on In Like Flynn
Records, via Cherry Red Records.
A single from the album – the Jackson Browne/George
Harrison-tinged Till
The Money Run$ Out
- was released on September 4th.
With some glorious Californian harmonies Van Eede sings “Now
you said that you like to play the field/And I should get over it/But
when all of your games got to be revealed/I was the last to hear of
it,”
It’s
hardly surprising that (I
Just) Died In Your Arms is seen as
songwriter
Nick Van Eede’s greatest achievement and yet this Pyrrhic victory
surely masks Van Eede’s subsequent song-writing collaborations with
artists including Mika, Pixie Lott, Marillion and Cher.
Add
To Favourites,
which features guitarists Gareth Moulton and Joolz Dunkley, bassist
Nick Kay, keyboardist Jono Harrison, drummer Martyn Baker and the
Blackjack Horns, is Van Eede’s “tip of the hat to artists I’ve
always adored” – from Otis Redding to Frank Zappa(!)
The album
also tackles weighty subjects such as relatives and friends gone too
soon (Van Eede lost both his younger brother and his long-time
Cutting Crew bedfellow Kevin MacMichael some time ago) on Looking
For A Friend
and the Berlin Wall on Berlin
In Winter which
Van Eede performed live in Berlin at
the 25th
Anniversary of The Wall’s demise last November.
Watch
the video for “Till The Money Run$ Out”
Van
Eede has revealed
that he wrote “80%
of the album under water” and
the
album’s startling artwork featuring our protagonist emerging as a
knight from a swimming pool is inspired by the fact that Van Eede is
a supremely gifted swimmer and that several of his friends have
suggested he would be able to swim a mile whilst wearing full body
armour. A full UK tour – due to take place above ground - is set to
be announced in the next few weeks.
