When Ronan Met Burt

Ronan Keating has teamed up with legendary composer Burt Bacharach to record his brand new album, ‘When Ronan Met Burt’. A long time fan of Burt’s staggering back catalogue, Ronan is thrilled to be working with one of his all-time musical heroes on this very special collaboration. The Irish superstar first contacted Burt last year; he was ecstatic when the iconic composer and producer agreed for them to work together.

Backed by a full orchestra, the result was a spectacular album recorded by the duo earlier this year. All the tracks featured are classics composed by Burt over the course of his impressive fifty year career and include instantly recognisable hits such as ‘Walk On By’, ‘The Look Of Love’, ‘What The World Needs Now Is Love’ and ‘I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself’. All the tracks were recorded live with a full orchestra, ensuring that the grandeur and stature of these timeless classics was captured and conserved.

‘When Ronan Met Burt’ is Ronan’s eighth solo album in Australia and follows his 2010 Platinum ARIA album “Duet”, which was released exclusively for his Australian and New Zealand fans and the Platinum plus 2009 album “Songs For My Mother” which spent four weeks at the top of the ARIA Album Chart. Last year Ronan spent time in Australia working as a judge on ‘The X Factor’ and went on to win the competition with one of the acts he mentored.
