From the storied legend of the English rock scene Chris Norman, formerly the lead singer of Smokie, comes a ballad that’s bound to melt your heart. ‘Always On My Mind’ is a piano and string driven love song that gives Norman the centre stage, a loving and devotional tune that highlights the sheer adoration and love in a relationship over years that have passed. The grandiosity behind the tune just gives off a certain sense of luxury that would make it hit all that much harder with a live orchestra backing the performance. That little acoustic section towards the song’s end also blesses you with something distinct and exciting.
The single is part of a larger upcoming covers album composed of 12 of the biggest ballads and love songs ever written, by artists like The Temptations, Elvis and Roy Orbison. Covering the great Elvis Presley is never an easy task but Chris Norman passes with flying colours.
