Craig Revel Horwood has announced the release of his debut solo album in the autumn, ahead of an extensive UK tour in 2025.
Titled ‘Revelations: Songs Boys Don’t Sing’, the album will be released on 18 October via the Westway Music label, and is preceded by the release of Craig’s debut solo single, a dance floor update of Dame Shirley Bassey’s classic ‘This Is My Life’, which is out today (17 June).
In support of his album, Craig will embark on a 53-date UK tour that begins in Eastleigh on 4 April 2025 and ends in Dunfermline on 28 June, including a date at London’s Union Chapel on 26 April.
Craig is promising fans a “Fab-U-Lous” night of glamour, tall tales and big songs from his album, which features ‘Don’t Rain On My Parade’ from Funny Girl, ‘On My Own’ from Les Miserables and, amongst many others, ‘Little Girls’ from Annie, a song that Craig has sung in many productions playing Miss Hannigan.
Craig 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!”
