ENGLEBERT HUMPERDINCK
Internationally renowned vocalist and performer Engelbert Humperdinck on a motorcycle on a desert road at sunset, with gold text Engelbert Humperdinck and Faithfully, one of the most enduring and beloved voices in popular music history, will release his highly anticipated new album Faithfully on August 28 via Cleopatra Records. Marking a powerful new chapter in a career that has spanned more than six decades, the forthcoming release stands as one of the most ambitious and hit-packed recordings of Humperdinck’s storied career.
Celebrated as one music’s most recognizable generational icons whose unmistakable voice has captivated audiences worldwide since he rose to superstardom in the 1960s and 1970s, Humperdinck brings fresh interpretation and emotional depth to a dynamic collection of blockbuster songs originally made famous by Journey, Ozzy Osbourne, KISS, Aerosmith and more. The album features a newly composed original track “Always My Love”, adding a very personal touch to the project.
The 15-track release is elevated by an extraordinary lineup of guests including Journey’s Jonathan Cain, legendary keyboardist Rick Wakeman (Yes, David Bowie), Grammy Award-winning guitarist Al Di Meola, Canned Heat’s Harvey Mandel, Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson and acclaimed guitarist Eric Gales. Rich, full orchestral and string arrangements underscore the albums sweeping production, blending classic sophistication with modern rock energy.
“Our entire team at Cleopatra Records couldn’t be more thrilled to embrace this global legend into our beloved artist roster and are looking forward to what we feel could truly be a shining release in his remarkable career” says Cleopatra’s VP/General Manager, Tim Yasui
With a career defined by timeless hits such as “Release Me,” “After the Lovin,” “Spanish Eyes” and “The Last Waltz,” Humperdinck has sold over 140 million records worldwide and earned a place among music’s most distinguished performers. His ability to transcend generations continues to resonate, making this new release both a celebration of his legacy and a bold step forward.
Says Humperdinck “I am so grateful for my good friends Brian Perera and Tim Yasui of Cleopatra Records for coming up with the fantastic idea of this album and the music videos we did for it. And I am really honored by all of the incredible renowned musicians who joined on the tracks. And not, by any means last, I want to thank my producers Adam Hamilton and Pete Mills plus our mixing engineer Jurgen Engler for the tireless hours that went into this production.”
In support of the album, Humperdinck will embark on a global tour, bringing his signature voice and renewed repertoire to audiences across North America, Europe and beyond. Tour dates and additional details will be announced in the coming weeks.
