Elaine Paige to release new album MISCELLANEOUS PAIGE this summer
Celebrated artist Elaine Paige, who was recently honoured with the ‘Special Award’ at this year’s Olivier Awards along with a congratulatory message from HM Queen Camilla, will release a new album on Westway Music on 17 July.
Entitled Miscellaneous Paige, the album brings together a hand-picked selection of songs - a personal time capsule featuring reimagined tracks with fresh arrangements that preserve the emotional truth of the originals, along with a few surprises.
Elaine said: “It’s a collection of songs gathered over the years - a nostalgic reflection with the passage of time as its central thread. Some are old companions by writers from my youth including Jim Webb, Harry Nilsson, the Beatles, Bacharach & David and The Bee Gees, they taught me everything - joy, heartbreak and the importance of rewinding a cassette with a pencil. Others are newer discoveries which simply resonate with me. Their story telling and meaningful lyrics evoke the same emotions for me, all these years later, I hope the same can be said for you.”
