The debut album of Anton Du Beke has been hotly anticipated. The TV personality, who is best known for performing on Strictly Come Dancing, has turned his hand to singing and his fans have been eagerly waiting for his musical offering.
Released on 24 November, From The Top features a range of songs that have influenced Anton throughout his glittering showbiz career in ballroom. Incredibly, Anton has been singing for practically as long as he’s been dancing, yet now is the time for us to truly appreciate his vocal talents with this gem of a debut album.
“I’ve sung at my dance shows and I’ve sung on Strictly but I never believed I would finally get the chance to make an album,” Anton confessed. “All these songs (on the album) are hugely emotional to me.
“I spent my twenties and thirties penniless with just a lot of dreams. This album is for everyone who loves swing, who loves romance and who believes dreams come true.”
The album, as can be expected, is a joyful selection of big band songs with an old-school swing vibe.
Please see below for the full track-list.
