Marty Wilde Announces New Single, EP And 2024 UK Tour

by Glenn Sargeant | Feb 16, 2024

National treasure, and recently celebrated by the Official Chart Company as the first ever artist to have had chart success over 8-decades, the original pop-icon and heart-throb, Marty Wilde, announces the release of his new single ‘Two Eyes Streaming’ on 19th April 2024, as he celebrates his 85th birthday in that very same week.

Marty releases this single from his new EP of the same name ‘Two Eyes Streaming; the EP is released simultaneously on the same day. Marty will also be hitting the road for a string of 20 live dates in his Greatest Hits Tour 2024, including a special homecoming gig, as the boy from Blackheath returns to The Blackheath Halls, for one night only.

“What a career I’ve had,” smiles Marty, “Bounding into those early UK pop charts when I was just a kid at the age of 19, with chart toppers such as ‘Sea of Love’, ‘Teenager In Love’ and ‘Bad Boy’, who’d have known that I’d still be here making music and touring 65 years on. It’s been an incredible journey, especially as I’ve had my wonderful wife Joyce alongside me, and of course the success my kids Kim and Ricky had in the industry too, as well as my youngest daughter, Roxanne, who also has her own music career. It feels as if we’re the Waltons of music – and it’s amazing. “

The EP is Marty’s love letter to the world, touching on poignant moments of love across his 85 years. A divine, gentle down-tempo ballad, the single, ‘Two Eyes Streaming’, showcases Marty Wilde’s distinct vocals, that fast became the trade mark of his success, and paints the emotion of love from the perspective of a young 5 year old Marty, who’s missing his dad. Other moments of love across the EP include ‘Elvis’ – Marty’s heart-felt tribute to the star he desperately misses, and live versions of ‘Danny’, the omitted King Creole track from Elvis and ‘Running Together’, the family song Marty recorded with his daughters Kim & Roxy Wilde, and released during lockdown.

“My 85^th year, so it was important to me that this EP reflected back on my life – my poignant moments of love. The title track ‘Two Eyes Streaming’ is about memories of missing my dad when he had to go away, when I was a nipper. When I became a dad myself, I realised just how much my dad would have hated leaving the family too. That’s why I chose a personal family photo of me, mum and dad for the cover artwork,” says Marty. “It’s a sad emotion, but it comes from a place of extreme love. That’s what I wanted everyone to feel when they hear this song.”

From his teen heart-throb chart days of the 50s and 60s, and his song-writing success for the likes of Status Quo, Lulu, Snow Patrol, Hot Chocolate and Tom Jones, right through to his pennings for Brit Award winning daughter, Kim Wilde throughout the 80s, and his own chart success as his ‘Dreamboats & Petticoats Presents: The Very Best of Marty Wilde’ shot to No7 in the UK album chart in 2019 – Marty Wilde has proven that he’s a stalwart within the industry. Marty has remained strong from the start of the teen pop revolution, right through to the present day. The release of his latest album ‘Running Together’ in 2020 took him into a new decade, and scooped him the record-breaking crown of officially becoming the first of his pop peers to have chart success across x8 decades.

Now Marty Wilde proves that he’s still going strong with the release of his new single, ‘Two Eyes Streaming’, which is the lead track from his new EP of fresh original of the same name.

Gay rights were hard fought for and hard won. Male homosexuality was not decriminalised in England until 1967. In many countries Lesbianism and Homosexuality remain illegal, and Lesbians are persecuted, sometimes murdered. Even though the fight for rights in this country was ultimately successful, that success is incredibly recent, and cannot be taken for granted.
