Erasure vocalist Andy Bell is set to release his new solo album, ‘Ten Crowns’, on May 2nd.
This upcoming LP marks his third “sort-of solo record” and features collaboration with his close friend and guest producer, Dave Audé.
Scheduled to debut on May 2nd through Crown Recordings, the album spans vibrant pop sounds—produced in Nashville—and gospel-infused vocals. Created during the year he turned 60, it is both a celebration and a reflection.
“I mean, I’ve got everything I could possibly wish for, you know, I really have, but that’s not to say I’m always fulfilled,” Andy explains. “This album is about picking yourself up, brushing yourself off, embracing life—and maintaining that spirit even while battling demons in the world, such as homophobia, and demons within yourself. It’s about being uplifting and celebratory.”
Blondie icon Debbie Harry features on ‘Hearts A Liar’, while the lead single ‘Don’t Cha Know’ signifies “the beginning of the expedition” that developed into ‘Ten Crowns’.
With its powerful emotional depth, the video is directed by Stephano Barberis.
