Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
Experience his new album Im Not Anyone. 2024 marks the anniversary of Marc Almonds 45th year in music. A career of breathtaking diversity thats taken in chart topping pop, cutting-edge electronica, torch songs, orchestral ballads, French chansons, historical song-cycles, jazz, flamenco, Russian folk and much more. Whether with his rich solo catalogue or during his time with the iconic Soft Cell, Marc Almond has always possessed a gift for introducing songs some lesser known, others a little forgotten by time to new audiences. This is something he continues with the release of his brand-new album Im Not Anyone. He will follow the albums release with a major UK headline tour in September, which includes a London date at the Coliseum. In the spirit of the new album, the concert tour will consist only of cover songs. Marc says, I always approach curating an album of covers with a lot of joy as it means a year or so of listening to songs, old and new, making lists from which I add or subtract songs and in the process discover, or rediscover, some half-forgotten gems. Living now in Portugal, Ive found the time to not only reflect on my life but to also rediscover my love for music and songs. A great song can never die and should always find a new life and audience. I finally reached a selection of songs that express where I am in my life today and how I feel about the world and my place in it. These arent particularly storytelling songs (though for me, lyrics always come first) but more than ever this time Ive gone for how a song makes me feel and the emotional resonance it holds reflective songs for an older artist, perhaps.
