Anthony Callea is celebrating his third decade on Earth with a new album titled ‘Thirty’ and a new recording home at ABC Music.
Callea’s ‘Thirty’ is a new chapter for Anthony. It is his first studio album since ‘A New Chapter’ in 2006.
“Turning THIRTY last December was an exciting time and I decided I needed to record an album that encapsulated the past THIRTY years for me. Both musically and emotionally, this album is a collection of inspirational songs that embrace the artists and music that have influenced me over the years. I have also wanted to record and release a couple of originals that I wrote a while back but have been waiting for the right time, so I am very excited to have them become part of the THIRTY album”, says Anthony.
“From the moment I walked through the ABC Music doors to first meet with the team, I knew they were the right fit for this project. I am very excited to now be a part of the ABC Music family, and look forward to 2 making great records with them. Essentially this album blends a love of beautifully written music, with my very own vocal and melodic stamp. It will take you on a roller coaster of emotions, some raw, some complex and some beautifully moving, all which I experienced whilst recording. I hope you enjoy the ride!”
The album will feature covers of Cheap Trick’s ‘The Flame’ and Heart’s ‘Alone’ .
