Alexander O'Neal will be performing his biggest hits at tomorrow’s gig - including Never Knew Love Like This, a Northern Soul classic
American R’n’B legend Alexander O’Neal will play Middlesbrough tomorrow.
And the Northern Soul star, known for hits including Criticize, If You Were Here Tonight and Fake, is looking forward to the show at Linthorpe Road’s TFM Soundworks.
“I always enjoy coming to the UK and performing,” said Alexander.
“The fans here are so loyal, they are very supportive. There’s so much love here.”
Alexander will be performing his biggest hits at tomorrow’s gig - including Never Knew Love Like This, a Northern Soul classic.
His signature style is upbeat modern soul created through his gospel singing technique.
But Alexander has also become known for being equally capable of blasting out funky, up-tempo numbers or delivering tender ballads.
He released his first self-titled album in 1985 and this was followed by Hearsay in 1987. This album sold almost a million copies in the UK alone.
But as well as live shows, Alexander is also busy working on a host of new material - spanning a mix of genres.
“I’m working on a Big Band album,” he said, “songs of Sinatra, Nat King Cole. I’m also doing an R’n’B album this year of brand new material plus working on dance tracks too.”
Making hits since the Eighties, Alexander says he still loves performing to a live audience.
“I really enjoy performing live,” he said, “I enjoy what I do and I’m looking forward to coming to Middlesbrough to perform.
“It’s going to be a great night and a great show.”
Tickets for Alexander O’Neal’s gig at TFM Soundworks tomorrow are priced at £22.50 plus booking fee available from Skiddle.com, Seetickets.com or Ticketmaster.co.uk
