Millions know Tony Hadley as the former front man of Spandau Ballet, which earned him the accolade of one of pop’s great vocalist. His unique voice made him the perfect lead vocalist for the biggest band in the New Romantics music genre exploding out of the United Kingdom in the 80s. Thirty years on, the unmistakable voice of Hadley still brims with passion and urgency as it first did all those years ago.
Talking To The Moon 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 Were 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), and ‘What Am I’ – a deeply personal track about leaving Spandau Ballet – co-written with Mick Lister.
Fans across Australia will be thrilled to hear their favourite Spandau Ballet hits songs, new songs from Tony Hadley’s new album and some of his favourite songs by other artists.
