2015 two CD set. The 80s is a decade that has left us not only an unforgettable catalog of songs, but also a wide list of talented artists that so many years later, are still active, both touring and recording new material. 80s: Re-Covered is a fantastic project in which 12 essential artists of the 80\’s (Kim Carnes, Curiosity Killed The Cat, Heaven 17, ABC, Black, Kim Wilde, etc) take on the challenge of reworking non-\’80s songs with an \’80s sound. The result is an album with an amazing repertoire that also works as a hidden-gem of the 80s. The recordings were created exclusively for this project, arranged and produced by a team that includes Robin Millar (Sade, Fine Young Cannibals, Big Country, Eric Clapton and Sting among many others). 80s: Re-Covered is a pharaonic and unique project, which has been already acclaimed and requested by our distributors and fans all over the world and definitely will deliver it\’s fair share of worldwide hit singles. An album that will make history.
