Rhydian
To perfect his debut effort, Rhydian worked with an array of producers, with mentors including Steve Mac, Desmond Child, Quiz & Larossi, Per Magnusson and David Kreuger.
An array of original tracks were written especially for Rhydian, including the heart-stirring ‘I’m Coming Home Again’ and the stunning lead single ‘The Impossible Dream’.
The album also features his showstoppers from the X Factor, Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, West Side Story’s ‘Somewhere’ and ‘What If, a fantastic duet with Broadway star Idina Menzel.
Rhydian commented, “You can’t rush a good album; we wanted to make something timeless, full of great songs, not just an X Factor tribute.” Rhydian added: “Whatever song I sing, I try to put my own stamp on it. I am classically trained, but I don’t regard myself as an opera singer. I quite like the fact that I don’t fit into any particular style. I just try and connect with a song myself and then, if I’m moved, I can actually make a magnetic connection with an audience.”

Oh Rhydian, this is amazing beyond amazing in as many amazing words as i can before the word amazing looses its meaning!!
I can’t believe its not only 2 week, or really 13 days waiting before we can run into the shops in our pj’s and hot chocolate thermo flasks, purses or wallets at the ready waiting for our copy. I see a lot of fighting and puching to get the first off the shelf!
So never mind the bruises and scars we may get next…next monday morning, it’s all, i’m sure, for a worthy cause! LOL!
We’ll try not to get too overexcited a the chance to get the most anticipated and wanted album of the year.
Oh, and the website looks ama- ahem….INCREDIBLE!
Love and support forever
