Paul Heaton - The Last King Of Pop (2018)

2018 collection from the British singer/songwriter. This compilation feature 23 of the finest songs from throughout Paul's extraordinary music career, including hits from his days in the Housemartins, through his time in the multi-platinum pop co-operative The Beautiful South, his solo years, and up to the present day in his long-standing collaboration with former Beautiful South singer Jacqui Abbott. From the Housemartins' glorious 1985 debut single 'Flag Day' to the Beautiful South's chart dominating pop standards 'Don't Marry Her', 'Rotterdam' and 'Perfect 10' through to last year's Heaton & Abbott smash hit 'I Gotta Praise' they're all present and correct... and there's also room for a 2018 re-record by Paul and Jacqui of the Beautiful South classic 'A Little Time', and a brand new song, a deliciously infectious ska-pop paean to a lifetime of jukebox dancing and pop music obsession entitled '7" Singles'.
