Marc Almond

Whether with his rich solo catalogue or during his time with the iconic Soft Cell, Marc Almond has always possessed a gift for introducing songs – some lesser known, others a little forgotten by time – to new audiences. This is something he continues to do with the release of his brand-new album I’m Not Anyone.

The album I’m Not Anyone draws from different genres – from psychedelic and prog rock to folk, gospel, and soul. From Blue Cheer’s I’m The Light, to Neil Diamond’s Lonely Looking Sky (from Jonathan Livingston Seagull), this album is a musical journey of covers that includes King Crimson, Marmalade, Rita & The Tiaras and Johnny Rivers, all given an orchestral rock sheen by producer and multi-instrumentalist Mike Stevens who, with a small team, made a mature album with a young heart.

Marc says, “I always approach curating an album of covers with a lot of joy as it means a year or so of listening to songs, old and new, making lists from which I add or subtract songs and in the process discover, or rediscover, some half-forgotten gems.”

2024 marks the anniversary of Marc Almond’s 45th year in music and a career of breathtaking diversity that’s taken in chart-topping pop, cutting-edge electronica, torch songs, orchestral ballads, French chansons, historical song cycles, jazz, flamenco, Russian folk and much more. In the spirit of the new album, the concert will consist only of cover songs.
