Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Yay! Thanks to Ro's Timeline for spotting that Lee's new album is now available for pre-order on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0109Q48TI/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_asp_2q2aJ.GABBMMR

It's due out on 19 February 2016 so still a bit of a wait but good to have an actual date

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Nice artwork on the promo wallet (not sure what that is!) for Lee's new album:

Lee looking very suave! And nice to see the new track listing which confirms that 'Feeling Good' is on the album

PS - I see the release date is now 26 February - can't wait!

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

I like the photo of him standing in front of the grand fireplace. Very Downton Abbey!

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

If you have an iTunes account, you can find the album in the iTunes Store and there are preview clips for each track. Very exciting to get this glimpse of what it will sound like.

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Thanks to Timeline for spotting this promo interview for 'Some Enchanted Evening'.

Nice interview - nothing really new but there is a chance for UK readers to win a copy of the album!

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Some rather nice photos of the album cover have appeared on Twitter today. Sorry I can't do a link - technologically challenged.

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Here we go:-

I like the grey t-shirt pic!

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Me too jo he looks so relaxed

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

There was a play of 'See You In My Dreams' on Beverley Humphries' radio show (BBC Radio Wales) tonight, and she said she'd be playing other songs from the new album over the coming weeks. There will also be an interview with the man himself (he's already recorded it) on 21st Feb.

Incidentally, Michael Crawford's version of 'I Belong With The Stars' (from the musical 'Billy') was pla*** on tonight's show. I love Lee's version of that!

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

If anyone missed this, we have the clip on the website homepage. Lovely!

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Thanks for the link Linda. I went to the concert that Lee sang
"Some of us Belong to the Stars" absolutely loved Lee singing that
also remember he looked rather gorgeous in the trousers and waistcoat
he wore when he was on stage singing that song.

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Haha, sunny-mead - I nearly choked at the Keith photo! Love it!

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Thanks sunny mead X

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Great stuff, Sunny-mead!

That Keith pic is hilarious!

Apparently, Lee will be filming a music video tomorrow (weather permitting!) in Wales. According to his last tweet, he'll be getting up stupidly early to catch the sunrise (presumably to add an 'arty' touch to the video).

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Perhaps it's 'Some Enchanted Morning' standing in for 'Some Enchanted Evening'

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

It looks like the shoot has been going well, and it looks like there's going to be a castle involved!

First part of the shoot for the new video going well. Stunning views up here up in Brecon. Breakfast stop then Craig-Y-Nos castle



Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

I know everyone's probably already seen the first album review on FB and Twitter but it's definitely worth repeating here!

Not long to wait now! I think these songs will play very nicely in my lounge with soft lighting and a glass of wine when I want to chill out and feel mellow

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

'I Fall In Love Too Easily' just had a play on Beverley Humphries' radio show. Lovely.

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Just listening to the interview with Wynn Evans on Radio Wales. Lee sounding relaxed.

They're playing 'See You In My Dreams' - every time I hear the introduction of that song, I think Lee's going to start singing 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head'!

Lee scored 12 on the leaderboard challenge!

Nice interview!

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Yay! My e-mail is telling me that my signed CD has been dispatched

Can't wait to play it - hopefully tomorrow. In the meantime, I am enjoying the video clips on FB. I think the rather angry 'By Myself' is going to be a favourite track. And what a contrast with the gentle, whimsical 'I'll See You In My Dreams' which makes me think of Lofty for some reason! Lovely

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Downloaded from iTunes (it is the 26th somewhere, right? ) - and listening over and over. Wow. Loving the big band sound, which does not overpower Lee's exquisite vocal (as I was secretly afraid it might).

Wonderful blend of upbeat and powerful and lovely ballads. Love it!

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Today's the day

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

The album seems to selling quite well considering its limited distribution (not available in supermarkets etc). On the midweek chart published on Monday, it was no. 79 in the Top 100 Albums:

http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/albums-chart-update/

That's based on pre-orders + the first three days of release. It'll probably drop somewhat before the official chart on Friday as the initial boost from pre-orders is evened out but hopefully not too much. The album was showing up as out of stock on Amazon for a while which won't have helped sales but that seems to have been sorted out for now - though I hope someone eventually updates the track listing and adds some samples from the tracks - the US Amazon site is more up to date!

I see that the album is also available on HMV on-line:

I would really love to see the album do well for Lee

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Thanks for that, Greycat - I was wondering how the album was doing, sales-wise. It deserves to do well.

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Great to see that Lee is thrilled with the album's no. 20 position on the Indie Album Chart

The album doesn't appear in the Official Albums Chart Top 100 which covers sales of all CDs, downloads, vinyl and weighted audio streams. But the good news is that, when those figures are broken down, Lee appears at no.89 on the Official Albums Sales Chart Top 100:

http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/albums-sales-chart/

and no. 80 on the Official Physical Albums Chart Top 100 (covers sales of CDs, vinyl etc):

http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/physical-albums-chart/

Album charts are very complicated these days but hopefully all this means that 'Some Enchanted Evening'is doing OK!

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

So glad it's going well, fingers crossed it makes a profit he deserves it.

Re: Some Enchanted Evening - Album

Great stuff!
