Ali Campbell’s “Silhouette” Debuts

USA TODAY Premieres “Silhouette” Video By ALI CAMPBELL, THE LEGENDARY VOICE OF UB40

From Upcoming Album SILHOUETTE Set For Release Oct. 14  via Cooking Vinyl/Metropolis

Gearing up for the much-anticipated October 14, 2014 release of the album SILHOUETTE via Cooking Vinyl/Metropolis Records, ALI CAMPBELL is premiering the lead video “Silhouette” via USA TODAY. “Ali Campbell, the singer on UB40’s biggest records, puts his immediately recognizable spin on a doo-wop classic,” writes Brian Mansfield about the cover of the 1957 hit by The Rays, though this new, yearning take, owes more to an early 1970s version by the crown prince of reggae, the late Dennis Brown. The single was premiered on Sunday, July 20th in the UK on BBC Radio 2’s “Weekend Wogan”. The video can be seen here: http://goo.gl/czufb8

Reteaming with Astro and Mickey, the creative core of UB40, Campbell’s new album brings timelessness of their instantly recognizable reggae sound to the current music world without missing a beat. Recorded in London’s renowned RAK Studios, Siilhouette is an inspired mix of freshly-minted new songs and sparkling, reggaefied cover versions of classics by The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Chi-Lites and others.
