With his era-defining smash hit ‘The One and Only’, film star good looks and boy next door charm, Chesney Hawkes was one of the UK’s biggest pop stars of the ‘90s. Three decades on, and now certifiably the kind of bloke you’d love to have a pint with, the national treasure Chesney kick-starts a new stage in his career and introduces himself to brand new audiences with the new single ‘Get A Hold Of Yourself’ – his first all-new music in more than a decade. Listen HERE.
Premiered today on Radio 2, ‘Get A Hold Of Yourself’ finds Chesney Hawkes applying that famous voice to a classic, high energy pop-rock sound – but with a bright modernist edge that brings him back up to date without losing the essence of what he’s best known for. Lyrically it’s brave enough to declare this is who I am and I’m not changing for anyone – a message that makes it feel like a grown-up sequel to his biggest hit. It’s a bold reintroduction to his talents, and one that will set him on the path to a long overdue next chapter, with the official video to follow next week showing Chesney as you’ve never seen him before…baring all….
Chesney says, “It’s really strange experiencing this all again – 3 decades later and with 3 decades worth of growing up. It’s taken a long time to feel confident enough to really throw myself back into a project but growing up and feeling much more comfortable and freer within myself has allowed that to happen. That’s what “Get A Hold Of Yourself” is about, getting hold of yourself and being free and not giving a f*ck what people think! I think people are going to be surprised that this is a Chesney track- I hope you enjoy it!”
