"Four Stars ... a loving recreation of early 70s dance music ... the interaction of strings, horns and electric piano provides luxurious texture to the constant beat ... Somerville’s distinctive, inherently soulful countertenor perfectly suits the glitter ball ambience. The political edges of gay activism take a back seat to the celebratory joy of dancing but there are depths of emotional yearning ..."
- The Telegraph
Iconic vocalist Jimmy Somerville, lead singer of Bronski Beat and The Communards, pays tribute to his roots in dance music on Homage, a collection of 12 original disco tracks. While working with his friend and the record’s producer John Winfield, Somerville was inspired to turn all the songs they were writing into disco. Famous for reimagining disco classics as his own, such as You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real), Never Can Say Goodbye? and Don’t Leave Me This Way, to name but a few, Homage is a logical next step in Somerville‘s career, one at which he can only excel considering his background, passion and distinctive vocal talent.
"I’ve finally made the disco album I always wanted to and never thought could. If I was 15 again I’d buy it, sit on my bed, slowly open the gatefold, slide out the vinyl, place it on the turntable then jump off the bed and imagine someone just passed me a tambourine ... I’d be in heaven! So open your ears, embrace the groove and pay homage to an all too easily derided sound ... I LOVE disco!”
- Jimmy Somerville
