At the age of 21, Rick Astley emerged from the shadows of the Stock, Aitken and Waterman production team to become one of the biggest global stars. His era-defining classic "Never Gonna Give You Up" topped charts around the world, catapulting him on a journey that would include 8 consecutive UK Top 10 hits and 40 million sales. And after focusing on his family, he rocketed back to number 1 almost 30 years later with his successful platinum selling album '50'. Now Rick is celebrating his extraordinary story with the release of a new career-spanning compilation, The Best of Me. It features the first run of hits alongside current fan favorites like Keep Singing, Angels On My Side and Beautiful Life. However, it also brings to light lesser-known but still outstanding songs such as "Lights Out" from 2010. The single "Every One of Us " also includes a brand new, previously unreleased Rick Astley song. Continuing this spirit of reinvention, Rick independently recorded a series of reimagined interpretations of his old and new songs for the second CD of The Best of Me. While Rick's musical style has evolved over the years, the Reimagined recordings show that quality songwriting has always been a key feature of his work. Rick Astley continues to celebrate his extraordinary career with the release of a new 1LP version of his compilation "The Best of Me", spanning his entire career. It includes his biggest hits from the 80s and 90s, including "Never Gonna Give You Up", "Together Forever" and "Cry For Help", as well as current fan favorites such as "Keep Singing", "Angels On My Side" and "Beautiful Life". The set begins with a look into the past and ends with a look into the future. The self-written, produced and recorded opening track "Every One of Us" is a newer song that shows that the power of Rick Astley 2.0 is undiminished.
