Marc Almond - Shadows and Reflections

Almond takes classics to his cabaret

//

Marc Almond is an underrated legend, and here is more proof if you needed any. An interesting addition to his already impressively diverse discography, this collection of covers of old classics (or unknown gems by classic artists) has a common theme of loss and disillusion. With Almond's flair for over-the-top operatic camp, this is not a weep-fest: instead, it is a non-stop sensual cabaret that sounds modern, or rather timeless, while indulging in its eccentricity.

Highlights: "How Can I Be Sure", "Embers", "Not For Me"
