John Barrowman, much loved actor, singer, TV and West End star releases his highly anticipated new album ‘Another Side’ on November 12th, 2007 on Sony BMG.

‘Another Side’ is an album full of classic songs. They are songs that John has wanted to record for many years, all of them having had a personal meaning or connection in his life and career. Across a number of musical genres, but predominantly sumptuous, streamlined pop, he lends his rich vocals to, amongst others, Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time”, Elton John’s “Your Song”, Chicago’s “If You Leave Me Now” and Billy Joel’s “She’s Always A Woman To Me”.

“All Out Of Love” is an epic ballad featuring intense, soaring strings. “Weekend In New England”, a Barry Manilow classic; “Feeling Good” is a nod to a bygone era, with a wonderfully late night supper club feel, and “All By Myself”, is the perfect finale, a tribute to Eric Carmen’s masterful original.

John Barrowman is a unique actor, singer and presenter. He is best known on British TV as Captain Jack Harkness in BBC’s Doctor Who and it’s especially created spin-off series Torchwood. In the last year alone he has been on a variety of primetime television shows, whether judging on the award winning BBC1 entertainment shows How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? and Any Dream Will Do, as a celebrity skater on the ITV show Dancing On Ice, and a hugely amusing and memorable guest on The Jonathan Ross Show, The Friday Night Project and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. He has also starred in many top West End productions including Miss Saigon, Beauty & The Beast, Grease! And The Phantom Of The Opera.

His standing with the British public is such that he was recently proclaimed ‘a national treasure’ by The Times. Now, he has returned to his first love, music, and to commit his favourite songs to record.

As John himself says:

“I see myself being very different from the average singer. I have released records before, but this is my first for a mainstream audience. But I do want to make it absolutely clear here and now: I am not trying to be a pop star. I’m just trying to make a high quality album full of songs that I hope people would want to hear me sing. For those who only maybe know me from television, I’d like them to discover another side of me.”
