Michael Ball and Alfie Boe will release new album ‘Together At Home', their sixth studio album, on 8th November 2024.
The release marks the 10th year that the two singers have worked together. The first single from the record is a cover of Heather Small's 2000 debut solo single ‘Proud'. Take a listen below:
“It's a song that was used for the 2012 London Olympics,” begins Ball. “And this summer I went to the Paris Olympics to watch Grace, my granddaughter, playing in the rugby sevens with Team GB. There's me and [my partner] Cathy [McGowan] sat in the Stade de France, 66,000 people. On she runs and genuinely, I've never felt so proud in my life – or as nervous! And when she scored a try, and there's her name up on the scoreboard, it was wonderful. The heart-bursting pride Cath and I both felt – incredible!”
“We’re proud of where we're from. Proud of this country, of being British and welcoming people home. And welcoming people into our home,” Boe adds pointedly, “is something that I think is important.”
‘Together At Home' follows the success of the duo's previous five albums including their debut ‘Together' which was the UK's best-selling album of 2016. This was followed by ‘Together Again', which brought the pair yet another No.1 album in 2017. Ball and Boe went on to release ‘Back Together' in 2019 which reached No.2, before a third No.1 album, ‘Together At Christmas' in 2020.
The duo will take to the road in a 12-date marathon across the UK in March & April next year for a huge run of arena headline shows that will bring this special album to life, including a night at London’s The O2 on April 13th.
