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.”

So glad the new site is up and running now. It looks fantastic - you deserve the best Rhydian. Looking forward to getting my copy of the album - I’m wishing the days away and the 24th can’t come soon enough. I know the album will be outstanding and a great success. Good luck with all the promotion work and here’s to a platinum album. Remember we all love you loads.

Thank you for taking off the non-Rhydian track and putting up two snippets of Rhydian’s own amazing, spine-tingling recordings. No-one, no-one else recording in this genre is capable of singing with such heartfelt expression and clarity - this man, truly, is in a class of his own AND such a sweet and lovely, caring man, too. He really does have it all - and why we are all in love with him!

Oh Rhydian, all the songs I’ve heard so far from the album have been amazing. To Where You Are is just beautiful, a real tear jerker, I can’t wait to hear the full version. Also loved What If. Am counting down the days, hours and minutes until my preordered copy of the album hits the doormat. I can’t wait!!!! Hope the tour starts soon. We all love everything about you Rhydian…thank you for lighting up our lives! x x x
