Something

Shirley Bassey

Orchestral soul. Bassey reclaims her throne with massive, cinematic reinterpretations of contemporary hits that feel both intimate and monumental.

It's the record where Shirley Bassey takes the 60s' best songs and makes them sound like Bond themes.

A high-drama celebration of resilience and romantic grandeur.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive brass crescendo on the title track that transforms a gentle Beatles melody into a powerhouse anthem.
The way her voice drops to a vulnerable whisper on 'Yesterday I Heard the Rain' before soaring into a massive orchestral finish.
The unexpected psychedelic soul energy of the 'Light My Fire' cover, featuring a driving drum beat and aggressive horn stabs.
