Andrew Lloyd Webber’s original muse, Eliane Paige returns with a new collection featuring songs by the Bee Gees and even Bruno Mars

West End legend Elaine Paige tackles songs by Bruno Mars on her first new album in over a decade due this summer.

The Cats star, who was recently honoured with the ‘Special Award’ at this year’s Olivier Awards, releases Miscellaneous Paige on July 17 a hand-picked selection of covers. Paige said: “It’s a collection of songs gathered over the years – a nostalgic reflection with the passage of time as its central thread.”

As well as songs by Harry Nilsson, the Beatles, Bacharach & David and The Bee Gees Paige also reimagines Only a Lifetime by Finneas, brother of Billie Eilish.

Described as a personal time capsule featuring reimagined tracks with fresh arrangements that preserve the emotional truth of the originals, along with a few surprises.

Elaine added: “Some are old companions by writers from my youth including Jim Webb, Harry Nilsson, the Beatles, Bacharach & David and The Bee Gees, they taught me everything – joy, heartbreak and the importance of rewinding a cassette with a pencil.

” Others are newer discoveries which simply resonate with me. Their story telling and meaningful lyrics evoke the same emotions for me, all these years later, I hope the same can be said for you.”

Paige shot to fame in 1978 after landing the title role of Eva Perón in the original West End production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Evita. Aged just 30 she won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Performance in a Musical and has gone to appear in countless productions including Cats and Sunset Boulevard.

The full tracklisting for Miscellaneous Paige looks like this:

Remember/Goin’ Back Nilsson/Carole King & Gerry Goffin

August Winds Sting

In My Life Beatles
