Love Songs and Jake Shears
Former Scissor Sister-turned solo mister Jake Shears chooses his Tracks of My Years all this week. Plus, Ten to the Top is back at 10:30 and there's the Record and Album of the Week.
Former member of the Scissor Sisters turned solo star Jake Shears chooses his Tracks of My Years all this week.
Three times Brit Award winners Scissor Sisters released four albums together, including their self-titled debut (the UK's best-selling album of 2004) and hits include I Don't Feel Like Dancing, Laura and Filthy/Gorgeous.
Jake released his self-titled debut solo album in 2018, and on June 2nd the long-awaited follow up 鈥楲ast Man Dancing鈥� arrives, which features Kylie Minogue, Big Freedia, Jane Fonda and more. The lead single Too Much Music was released at the beginning of this year, and was one of the songs Jake performed in Radio 2's Piano Room in February.
Away from performing, Jake's been keeping himself busy writing - having written music for Tales of the City, a 2011 stage musical based on Armistead Maupin鈥檚 bestselling book series, he's also teamed up with Elton John to write the lyrics for the new musical Tammy Faye.
Jake's also written and performed with Kylie, duetted with Cher, starred in Kinky Boots on Broadway and appeared on The Masked Singer.
And as well as putting on several shows around the launch of his new album, Jake will also be appearing at Brighton Pride and opening for Duran Duran for their UK Tour.
Jake's two choices today come from Roxy Music and Ike and Tina Turner.
Plus Gary's got another edition of Radio 2鈥檚 new mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top plus there's the Love Song messages and the Record and Album Of The Week.
