Trevor Horn Reimagines The 80s sees Horn and a cast of legends, including Robbie Williams, Seal, All Saints and Jim Kerr bringing a new vibrancy to classics from the 80s, such as Everybody Wants To Rule The World, Ashes To Ashes, Girls On Film and Brothers In Arms.
The album’s opening track and first single Everybody Wants To Rule The World sees Robbie Williams deliver a fantastic version of the Tears For Fears’ 1985 classic, a track that won the Brit Award for Best British Single in 1986. Other standouts from the record include Seal’s take on Ashes To Ashes, Jim Kerr doing Brothers In Arms, Gabrielle Aplin on Dancing In The Dark, as well as a fantastic Take On Me, which sees Trevor assume lead vocal duties.
Speaking about working on the album Trevor said:
‘The best thing about making this album was all the fun and laughter that came from hanging out with musicians and artists that I haven’t seen for years’.
The record was made at a number of locations, including Trevor’s Sarm Music Village and Sarm Steeles Road studios, Angel Recording Studios and Air Edel in London, as well as Sarm West Coast in Bel Air.
