Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott have revealed details regarding their new record, What Have We Become, which will be the first joint venture for the duo since The Beautiful South.
On their fresh collaboration Paul Heaton said: “Working with Jacqui again was like going into your garage and discovering a beautiful, covered up Rolls Royce that hadn’t been started in years. Jackie is one of the best singers I’ve worked with and is also part of my past. It was only a matter of time before I asked her.”
“I always wrote songs with Jacqui in mind. Even before I met her I pictured a voice that could carry the songs into people’s hearts in a particular way. When I first heard her sing I almost laughed because it was SO right for the songs.”
Jacqueline Abbott said: “It’s just great to be singing again after such a long time, especially with Paul. We had such a good run together previously and it’s just a real pleasure to be working with him again and singing these fantastic songs”
