Elaine Paige to Release New Album MISCELLANEOUS PAIGE in July

Elaine Paige, who was recently honored with the ‘Special Award’ at this year’s Olivier Awards along with a congratulatory message from HM Queen Camilla, will release a new album on Westway Music on 17th July 2026.  Entitled Miscellaneous Paige, the album brings together a hand-picked selection of songs - a personal time capsule featuring reimagined tracks with fresh arrangements that preserve the emotional truth of the originals, along with a few surprises.

Elaine said “It’s a collection of songs gathered over the years - a nostalgic reflection with the passage of time as its central thread.  Some are old companions by writers from my youth including Jim Webb, Harry Nilsson, the Beatles, Bacharach & David and The Bee Gees, they taught me everything - joy, heartbreak and the importance of rewinding a cassette with a pencil.  Others are newer discoveries which simply resonate with me. Their story telling and meaningful lyrics evoke the same emotions for me, all these years later, I hope the same can be said for you.”

Track listing includes: Remember / Goin’ Back by Nilsson / Carole King & Gerry Goffin, August Winds by Sting, A Real Emotional Girl by Randy Newman, Count On Me by Bruno Mars, In My Life by The Beatles, Older by Ben Platt, Only a Lifetime by Finneas, Saltwater by Julian Lennon, If These Walls Could Speak by Jimmy Webb, Windows of the World / What the World Needs Now by Bacharach & David, Woodstock by Joni Mitchell, Immortality by Bee Gees. You can pre-order a signed copy of the new CD now here.
