That Mr Hadley has musical tastes far beyond Spandau Ballet is well-established by his handling of the vocals on big band arrangements AND – from our perspective – his presence in the audience at the Cuban-themed Royal Albert Hall show by the mighty Zucchero. A new ‘own’ album is here… ​

Tony Hadley has announced his highly anticipated new solo album ‘Talking To The Moon’  for release on Friday 8th June 2018. The record is released in Moonstone Music.  His first new studio album in a decade, ‘Talking To The Moon’ signals a new chapter for the artist who defined a decade and much more.

Millions know him as the former front man of Spandau Ballet, which earned him the accolade of one of pop’s great vocalists. Thirty years on, the unmistakable voice of Hadley still brims with passion and urgency as it first did all those years ago.

The album was co-written by Tony, with a raft of other talented songwriters. The first single Tonight Belongs To Us and How I Feel About You were both written by Toby Gad (credits include John Legend’s All Of Me and Beyonce’s If I Was A Boy. Fellow 80s alumni Peter Cox and Richard Drummie of Go West contribute on Skin Deep, whilst other album highlights include the operatic Killer Blow (co-written with Blair Mackichan whose work includes Sia, Paloma Faith).

Commenting on the title of the album, Tony explained: “Haven’t we all, at some point in our lives, gazed up into the night sky, stared at the moon and the stars, and wondered what it was all about?

“Maybe talked to the moon and asked for a little help, maybe looked for answers, or just been amazed at its beauty?”
