Wie zijn Londonbeat
De Engelse popgroep Londonbeat is vooral bekend van hun nummer-1 hit ‘I’ve been thinking about you’ uit 1990. Hun close harmonies zijn kenmerkend voor hun muziek. Aanvankelijk was Londonbeat vooral populair in Nederland. Hun succes begon hier, met hun eerste top-20 hit ‘There’s a beat going on’. De internationale doorbraak kwam met hun vijfde single, ‘I’ve been thinking about you’.
Londonbeat nam in 1995 een pauze. In 2003 kwamen ze opnieuw bij elkaar en brachten ze de albums ‘Back in the hi-life’ en ‘Gravity’ uit.
Global succes
The chart topping Londonbeat had a string of hits including ‘You Bring On The Sun’ and ‘I’ve Been Thinking About You’, which went to number 1 in 27 countries across Europe, America, Canada and Australia. A global success story!
In addition to his musical talents and successes, Jimmy Helms is a prolific writer. He has completed two manuscripts for novels and worked on a concept for an animated feature, which will reveal another facet of his creative aspirations.
New Londonbeat
When Londonbeat disbanded, lead singer Jimmy Helms rang Charles Pierre and the New Londonbeat rose from the ashes. Charles Pierre had worked behind the scenes as record co-producer and programmer on many of Londonbeat’s successful recordings. Charles has recorded M-People and toured with Baby Face, the American R&B musical giant.
In their years as a partnership, Jimmy and Charles have written enough songs to complete two or three albums. There’s a waiting list of mega artists, all anxious to have Jimmy and Charles write and produce their next hit. But Jimmy and Charles have saved their very best for their own stunning album, with the famous Danish producers Jam & Delgado, who brought Scandinavian pop music to world domination with Aqua’s globally massive ‘Barbie Girl’.
New Londonbeat’s newest member, Tony Blaize, was born and raised in Liverpool, home of The Beatles. Tony began singing at an early age. Growing up, his biggest musical influences were Lou Rawls, Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye. Starting out with his brothers in the early seventies, they did TV and theatres including The London Palladium and Theatre Royal, two of England’s most prestigious venues. Tony went on to front many bands in and around Liverpool throughout the 80’s and 90’s, before joining New Londonbeat.
Listen for the re-recorded, re-mixed version of ‘I’ve Been Thinking About You’, the follow-up single ‘Between Your Eyes’, and the album to follow, all co-written and produced with Denmark’s own golden boys Jam & Delgado.
