Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has announced the release of his debut solo album which he has described as a "perfect blend of drama, pathos, romance, and a touch of high camp".
Revelations: Songs Boys Don't Sing is due on October 18 via the Westway Music label, and the 59-year-old Australian-British dancer and theatre director will also take it on tour next year.
Prior to the album release, Revel Horwood is also releasing the debut solo single This Is My Life, a dance floor update of a song long associated with Shirley Bassey.
He said: "I am thrilled to announce the release of my debut album! It’s a momentous occasion for me, and I can’t wait to share the songs I’ve carefully chosen.
"Throughout my musical journey, I’ve had the privilege of performing as both a dancer and a singer in numerous musicals. However, this album holds a special place in my heart as I’ve had the opportunity to select songs that truly resonate with me.
"Each track on the album is traditionally associated with female singers, which presented a delightful challenge.
"I embraced this opportunity to record these songs, knowing that it might be my only chance to give them my own interpretation.
"The album is a perfect blend of drama, pathos, romance, and a touch of high camp. I’ve poured my heart and soul into every note, hoping that you will love each and every song.
"Thank you for joining me on this incredible musical journey. I can’t wait for you to experience the magic of my album!"
Revel Horwood has starred in many productions and pantomimes over the years, including playing the role of Miss Hannigan in the touring production of Annie, and he also directed and choreographed the UK tour of the musical Sister Act.
He is now Strictly’s longest-serving judge having been on the panel since the show started in 2004 and is an author, with debut novel Dances And Dreams On Diamond Street published in 2020.
Musical theatre label Westway Music is a music and film platform for artists who have performed on Broadway and the West End, with previous releases including Samantha Barks’ Into The Unknown and John Barrowman’s album, Centre Stage.
