- Rick Astley
One of the music industry’s most distinctive voices, Rick Astley has left an indelible mark on pop-culture since his emergence into the limelight nearly three decades ago. With well over 40 million records sold, and an enviable back-catalogue of chart-topping hits, Astley remains one of the most successful solo artists to have emerged from these isles, holding the distinction of being the first male solo artist to see his first eight singles reach the UK Top Ten.
Just twenty one-years-old when he unleashed the iconic Never Gonna Give You Up’, he took instant residence in the charts. The smash became the UK’s biggest selling single of 1987 going on to hit number one in 16 countries. Rick Astley is back with his first studio album in over a decade and marks a return to his musical roots – marrying Astley’s distinctive, soulful vocals with gospel influences in an entirely self-penned album that draws on his experiences and inspirations, and showcases his unmatched musicianship with the star playing every instrument heard on the album.
