Sharleen Spiteri returns with a brand new album 'The Movie Songbook' featuring all her favourite soundtrack songs from movies.
The idea for came about while touring 'Melody', when Sharleen found herself invited to perform various star cameos:
"That's where it started," says Sharleen. "I realised that things were coming full circle. When we formed Texas, we took our name from a film - Paris, Texas. And here I was all these years later singing these film songs. Suddenly the idea of a whole album of songs from movies just seemed like a great and fun thing to do."
Enlisting 15 time Grammy award-winner Phil Ramone on production (who has produced various Hollywood legends from Marilyn Monroe to Frank Sinatra); 'The Movie Songbook' was recorded in just 8 days with the help of the finest soundtrack session musicians around.. and the result is a fantastic collection of cinematic show stoppers.
"Making this album has taught me that my true voice lies in this area and not to be scared of using it," Sharleen agrees.
