Michael Bolton Swings Sinatra -
International superstar Michael Bolton has taken on another extraordinary challenge with Bolton Swings Sinatra, set for a May 23rd release on Passion Music/Concord Records.
Having already sold 53 million albums, scaled the Pop, R&B and Classical charts, performed at sold-out venues worldwide, sung with Luciano Pavarotti and Ray Charles, written songs with Bob Dylan, traded guitar licks with B.B. King and penned hits for Barbra Streisand and KISS, anyone but Bolton might have been tempted to rest on his laurels. Instead, true to form, the vocalist threw himself into researching Sinatra’s life and work and preparing to put his own mark on a selection of material that the Chairman of the Board had made his own.
“For years I’ve kept a list of dream projects,” Bolton notes. “At the top of that list was an album of songs made famous by Frank Sinatra.” Supervising the arrangements and orchestrations down to the last note, he’s created an affectionate, dynamic tribute to some of the greatest recordings of the 20th century. The collection finds him singing classics like “New York, New York,” “Night and Day,” “My Funny Valentine,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” “Girl From Ipanema” and “That’s Life,” and bringing in special guest Nicollette Sheridan for a duet on “The Second Time Around.” The result will be a revelation even for longtime fans – passionate, playful, boisterous, intimate, and everything in between; Bolton Swings Sinatra is a dazzling pairing of singer and material.
