Featuring Spandau Ballet, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Deniece Pearson, David Bowie, Blancmange, The Divine Comedy, Tanita Tikaram and much more...
In Classic Pop issue 97 we have a world exclusive interview with cover stars Spandau Ballet as they release their early-years boxset Everything Is Now.
We also catch up with Sophie Ellis-Bextor as she returns to the dancefloor with feisty new album Perimenopop, while former Five Star alumni Deniece Pearson looks back on her time in the world-conquering family pop group and reveals all about her upcoming second solo LP, Free Queen See.
Also Inside…
Tanita Tikaram is back with her first new album in almost a decade, LIAR (Love Isn’t A Right), and we meet The Divine Comedy’s Neil Hannon as he unveils introspective new long-player Rainy Sunday Afternoon.
For our latest classic album feature, we see how Blancmange turned heads with their quirky debut LP Happy Families. Elsewhere, Cast frontman John Power previews their new studio album and reflects on the band’s current performances on the Oasis reunion tour.
We also put the post-70s back catalogue of David Bowie under the microscope for our Album By Album feature and The Jesus And Mary Chain’s Jim Reid considers the legacy of the controversial band.
In CP’s packed reviews pages we give our verdict on new album releases including Sophie Ellis-Bextor, The Divine Comedy, Richard Ashcroft, Johnny Marr, Tasmin Archer, Starsailor and Joy Crookes plus there’s a comprehensive reissues section featuring Spandau Ballet, David Bowie, Pet Shop Boys, Nick Heyward, Robyn, All Saints and much more. We also check out live shows by Heaven 17 and Shed Seven.
