Gary Kemp has released Too Much as the second track from his upcoming album ‘INSOLO’.

The LP, Gary’s second solo effort, comes after a 25-year break and is due for release July 16.

Featuring Queen’s Roger Taylor on drums, Too Much is the follow-up to lead track Ahead of the Game and came out of a feeling of being overpowered by the global bad news that constantly seems to beat us down. 

Gary says: “That feeling of helplessness and exhaustion that it sometimes creates in us. That sense that there’s too much going on to ever be able to change anything can make you retreat into the shell of your family. 

“I was hit by it one day and sat at the piano – my usual solace along with the guitar – and this tune and lyric came out in one sitting. 

“It felt like a comfort to declaim it and not write a song about what we should all be doing.”

Alongside the single, an official music video for the track features Meaghan Grace, a lead dancer with the Royal Ballet at The National Opera, performing a routine choreographed by Melanie Hamrick, formerly of the American Ballet Theater, and performed in Camden’s Alexandra Road Estate

Gary adds: “I wanted the dancer to be like my alter ego, my wish fulfillment character, feeling free and expressive, while the real me is struggling to deal with the ‘crisis’ surrounding him.”

Speaking exclusively to Retro Pop, Gary recently explained how the end of Spandau Ballet allowed him to revisit the possibility of a solo career, because until that point he always had “one foot in Spandau Ballet world”.

‘INSOLO’ is available to pre-order on CD and LP. Signed CDs are also available.
