Claire Richards Releases Summer Night City featuring Andy Bell from Erasure, it’s the second taster from her upcoming album Euphoria.
Summer Night City sees Claire join forces with her friend Erasure’s Andy Bell for a raucous cover of the Abba track. The pair bonded 12 years ago while competing on TV’s Popstar to Operastar and Claire adds: “While it’s always scary to tackle ABBA, we chose to include ‘’Summer Night City’ on the album because it’s not an obvious choice but it’s an absolute banger. The idea of inviting Andy Bell to duet on this song is truly a full-circle moment for me 12 years after becoming friends while competing on Popstar to Operastar. Both Steps and Erasure have so many connections to ABBA. It felt like a perfect match but probably not one people would expect. I’m delighted to have Andy be part of this record”.
It is the second track to be revealed from Euphoria and follows the brilliant first single I Surrender. The sublime, club-ready version of the Celine Dion track has been picking up praise all over the country and is already added to over 23 radio playlists
