	Cat. No.: 47 80126 Barcode: 0028947801269 Label: Decca CD Release Date: October			RUSSELL WATSON \| Outside In ARTISTS Russell Watson TRACK LISTING 1 La Califfa 2 One More Time 3 Amazing Grace 4 Have I Told You Lately 5 Jill's America (Once Upon a Time in the West) 6 On The Street Where You Live 7 Baby It's Cold Outside 8 Unforgettable 9 Love On The Rocks 10 Time To Say Goodbye 11 Adam: O Holy Night 12 Adeste Fideles 13 Puccini: Nessun dorma! [Turandot / Act 3] - 2007 Remix Russell’s new album Outside In sees him tackling iconic repertoire with a newly invigorated love of life and a maturing singing voice. Recovering from a life threatening illness, he is living every day to the fullest, and has thrown everything into the new recordings. The album includes everything from classical tracks such as ‘La Califfa’ and ‘Time To Say Goodbye’ to classic songs such as ‘Unforgettable’- and even a new 2007 version of ‘Nessun Dorma’, which is dedicated to the late Pavarotti. With all this and a voice which is now better than ever, Russell proves once again that he can imbue popular songs as well as classical with his own unique style and grace. Guest vocals from Jocelyn Brown, Denise van Outen and Hayley Westenra provide the finishing touches to a very special album. And it’s clear that the trauma of 2006 has neither dimmed Russell’s love of music, nor altered the stunning voice that started this whole story off. Outside In finds a slightly wiser Russell Watson on world beating form, and truly ready for anything. RETURN TO THE TOP

Featuring a range of songs including Chasing Cars and The Closest Thing to Crazy the album showcases the passion and virtuosity of four very British boys, all trained as choristers who met on Facebook just 18 months ago and quickly realised that together they had something uniquely special to offer music lovers. Their soaring harmonies, youthful energy and genuine charm touched a chord with a wide range of fans who quickly identified with the Blake Sound as something fresh and distinct, almost redolent of the Beach Boys with its harmonies and vibes, and yet operatic in some of its treatments.
