About the Album: Synopsis: Alfie presents a collection of the most beautiful and timeless songs, sung just the way you want to hear them. It is hard not to get a lump in your throat with his delivery of such romantic classics as the forever popular When I Fall In Love, Leonard Bernstein’s impassioned Maria from West Side Story and Ewan MacColl’s heartfelt “folk song” The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.
Having teamed up with good friend Matt Lucas for a duet on his first album, Alfie continues to surprise us with his unlikely, but perfect, pairings by being joined here by one of his heroes, rock legend Robert Plant. After a chance meeting in a bar, the two singers were soon in a studio recording this extremely moving version of Tim Buckley’s Song To The Siren. Having been called `Boe, the Bad Boy of Opera` it is entirely fitting that Alfie should welcome Plant onto his new record, and, somewhat surprisingly, their voices blend beautifully against the delicate orchestration.
