June’s announcement coincided with the release of the video for second single “Angels on My Side”, a soulful blockbuster that perfectly showcases the iconic singer, songwriter, producer and performer’s modern take on his timeless sound. The second single stormed straight on to BBC Radio 2’s A List, following hot on the heels of the similarly A listed lead single “Keep Singing”, a track which has raked in over 1.8 million views on VEVO to date, and been streamed over 600,000 times on Spotify.

It is the latest development in a busy year for the Grammy-nominated star, who has already completed a sold-out UK wide tour that ramped up the excitement for the BMG release of “50”, BBC Radio 2’s Album of the Week. His first new studio album in over a decade is a sensational return to his musical roots – marrying Astley’s distinctive vocals with Gospel influences in an entirely self-penned album that draws on his experiences and inspirations, and showcases his unmatched musicianship with the star playing every instrument heard on the album.
With over 40 million records sold, and a vast collection of chart-topping hits on both sides of the Atlantic to his name, Astley remains one of the most successful solo artists to have ever emerged from Britain. His three decades in the spotlight have seen the music legend enter the record books for his early groundbreaking chart success; garner rapturous critical acclaim; and sell-out arenas on almost every continent, as he continues to leave an indelible mark on pop-culture.
