Andy Bell

Album Overview

The name of Andy Bell's third solo album, Ten Crowns - like its cover art, featuring his head on a glistening gold coin - is making Andy smile today: "It sounds like a pub!", he jokes. But behind that title lies ten songs of dazzling, joyous pop, inspired by the dancefloor and gospel, completed in the year he turned 60. Ten Crowns marks a properly majestic moment in Andy Bell's forty-year career. His joy about what that holds, and where it can go, clearly excites him.

Connection to Past Works

"It's my third sort of solo record [following 2005's Electric Blue and 2010's Non-Stop] and in Erasure, our third album was our most successful out of all that we've done, so maybe I'm taking that spirit with me!" Travelling into new dimensions and possibilities with gospel in the heart and dancing in the soul clearly suits him. Ten Crowns is Andy Bell imperial, gleaming, ready for his coronation.
