Tom Aspaul is set to team up with ‘80s legend Kim Wilde on his new remix album, ‘Black Country Discothèque’.
The LP, featuring reworked tracks from Tom’s 2020 album ‘Black Country Disco’, is due for release on April 16, and features the Love Is Holy singer on a new version of previous single W.M.
Kicking off the campaign with new track The Program, he calls the project the “perfect progression sonically”.
“I am super excited to start the second phase of the ‘Black Country Disco’ era!” says Tom in a statement.
“‘The Program’ is such an amazing song, when I got in touch with Funk LeBlanc about collaborating for the remix album, they sent the demo through and it was a no-brainer.
“It feels like the perfect progression sonically – we’re definitely in a new decade – and I’m actually relieved to be singing about something other than heartbreak!
“Having Madeleine Wood on board with vocals is a bonus too, her voice really complements mine and her songwriting is incredible.”
‘Black Country Discothèque’ features collaborations with stars including Grammy-nominated producer MNEK, Welsh singer-songwriter Bright Light Bright Light and retro remixer Initial Talk.
The LP also includes new track Wanna Love U Boy – a cover of Robin Thicke’s 2005 single, Wanna Love You Girl.
Meanwhile, the cover art for ‘Black Country Discothèque’ is an homage to Madonna’s remix LP, ‘You Can Dance’, with Tom sporting a toreador outfit and open bolero jacket.
