Silhouette is the new single from Ali Campbell, the legendary voice of UB40 reunited with Astro & Mickey, released 18th August on Cooking Vinyl.
The single is the title track from Silhouette, the new album out October 6th.
Recorded in London's renowned RAK Studios, the album 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.
The track Silhouette was originally a 1957 hit for the American doo-wop group 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 will get its radio premiere this Sunday July 20th on Weekend Wogan, BBC Radio 2, 11am – 1pm..
.
As founding members of UB40, Ali, Mickey and Astro helped to define reggae music for a generation.
The iconic Birmingham reggae troupe topped the UK singles chart on three occasions and sold 70 million records as they took their smooth yet rootsy musical blend to all corners of the globe.
Campbell left the band in 2008 after 29 years and has since released four reggae-themed solo collections, with Mickey, who left UB40 soon after Ali, joining him on keys.
Astro remained with the band until November 2013, when he left to team up again with Ali and Mickey.

.
Ali's voice remains as strong as ever - rich, melodic and instantly recognisable.
“He’s a genius in the way he can work a set of lyrics around a great melody,” says Mickey.
“Any song he sings could easily be a UB40 tune.”.
.
With the redoubtable Astro lending strong vocal support and Mickey's keyboards to the fore in a new band that includes a three-piece horn section, their lithe but potent sound should delight fans old and new.
Having reiterated their credentials as consummate live performers with triumphant gigs this year in places as far flung as Nigeria, South Africa and Papua New Guinea, the trio have a quartet of UK festivals dates this summer and will embark on a headline tour in December.
In April next year, they will play Brixton Academy followed by a huge homecoming show at Birmingham NIA..
.
“When we play live now, it feels like a real group,” says Ali.
“The musicians in our band have all played with other reggae acts, so they love what we're doing.
And the fact that Astro is back with us after six years speaks volumes about the music we are making.”.

As original members of UB40, Ali, Mickey and Astro helped to define reggae music for a generation.
The multi-racial band, formed in 1979 in the Birmingham suburb of Moseley, pooled a diverse set of influences to put a fresh, indigenous slant on Jamaican reggae.
After encouragement from Chrissie Hynde, who offered them support slots with her chart-topping band The Pretenders, they recorded their independently released debut album, Signing Off, on an eight-track tape machine in the home of producer Bob Lamb.
An unexpected number two album, it gave them the conviction to chart their own course..
.
“Chrissie Hynde discovered us,” recalls Ali.
“We'd only done a dozen gigs when she saw us at the Rock Garden in London.
She was top of the charts at that time, but she took us on tour.
We were on the road with The Pretenders when our first single, Food For Thought and King, reached number four in the charts.”.
.
“We owed a lot to the late 1970s ska movement, too,” adds Mickey.
“We shirt-tailed the ska movement but we also stood apart from the 2-tone acts: their thing was a mix of punk and ska and ours was a new homegrown strand of reggae.”.
.
UB40 went on to dominate charts around the world, not least with the hugely successful Labour Of Love series.
The first Labour Of Love album, in 1983, yielded a cover of Neil Diamond's Red Red Wine that topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.
The band secured two further chart-topping singles at home in (I Can't Help) Falling In Love With You (also another US number one) and I Got You Babe, a duet between Ali and the band's old friend Chrissie Hynde, and Ali and Robin Campbell also scored a No.1 with Baby Come Back.
.
.
When Ali Campbell departed in 2008 after 29 years and a dozen major world tours with the band, he was followed out of UB40 by Mickey Virtue.
Campbell, with Mickey lending a helping hand, has since released four reggae-themed solo collections.
Astro remained with the band until November 2013, when he left to team up again with Ali and Mickey.
Now, following some spectacular gigs at home and abroad, the trio are facing the future with renewed confidence and vigour..
.
“When we play live now, it feels like a real group,” says Ali.
“The musicians in our band have all played with other reggae acts, so they love what we're doing.
And the fact that Astro is back with us after six years speaks volumes about the music we are making.”.
.
“For me, it's all about promoting reggae.
At the end of the day, the fans don't care about what goes on behind the scenes.
They only care about the music, and I'm sure they are going to love this record.”.

keyboardist Mickey Virtue topped the UK singles chart on three occasions and sold 70 million records as they.

took their smooth yet rootsy musical blend to all corners of the globe.
But, in all their years of stellar success, the.

trio never transferred the spirit of UB40 into an acoustic setting.
Now with ‘Unplugged’ they breathe new life into.

an intoxicating mix of timeless covers and classic UB40 originals..

“This is the first time we’ve taken iconic UB40 tunes and done them in an acoustic style,” says Ali.
“It all sounds.

very fresh.
It’s completely unlike anything we’ve done before.”.

‘Unplugged’ offers an inventive new spin on UB40’s early gems plus the huge hits with which they later wooed.

Among the highlights on the album is a new version of ‘I Got You Babe’, featuring Ali’s 22-year- old daughter Kaya Campbell, who sings the lines originally performed by Chrissie Hynde when the track topped the UK charts in 1985..

That pop standard is one of four number one singles on ‘Unplugged’, which also contains new takes of ‘(I Can’t.

– and a new version of ‘Baby Come Back’ featuring Pato Banton, the Birmingham reggae star who took the.

A clutch of vibrant originals have also been given the acoustic treatment, including ‘Food For Thought’ and.

‘Tyler’, both from UB40’s debut album ‘Signing Off’, and the 1981 single ‘One In Ten’.
Those songs were.

written in the harsh political climate of the early Eighties, but their social concerns seem no less relevant today..

The new arrangements hark back to the past, too: after all, ‘Signing Off’ was recorded on a simple, eight-track.

Another original to be given a fresh sheen is 1986’s ‘Rat In Me Kitchen’, with Astro again providing talk-over.

vocals.
“That song was based on a real incident,” recalls Ali.
“Astro came over to my house in Balsall Heath to.

talk about lyrics, but I didn’t want to talk about the band, as I had a rat hiding behind my washing machine! Some.

people thought it was about the government of Margaret Thatcher, but it had nothing to do with politics.”.

With Mickey adding upright piano and the arrangements fleshed out with shuffling percussion and Ali’s melodica,.

other covers given a makeover include Lord Creator’s ‘Kingston Town’, Eric Donaldson’s ‘Cherry Oh Baby’,.

Winston Groovy’s ‘Please Don’t Make Me Cry’ and the Chi-Lites’ ‘Homely Girl’..

‘Unplugged’ maintains the giddy momentum that Ali, Astro and Mickey built up on 2014’s ‘Silhouette’, the first.

studio album to feature all three members since Astro signed up in November 2013.
With Ali, closely followed by.

Mickey, having left the original UB40 after thirty years in 2008, the reintegration of Astro consolidated a set-up.
