Cliff with Strings – My Kinda Life is the 47th studio album by British pop singer Cliff Richard, released on 3 November 2023 by East West Records and via digital media.[1]
The album celebrates seven decades of music and commemorates Richard's 65th year in the music industry, consisting of original vocal recordings reworked with orchestral arrangements by Los Angeles based German composer and producer Chris Walden. It features Richard's duet "Suddenly" with Olivia Newton-John, from the film Xanadu.[2]
The album was preceded by the release of two singles, a reworking of "The Young Ones" and his 100th single, "The Best of Me".
Richard has said of the album: "After 65 years in the business, it is really an emotional journey to listen back to some of my original vocals and hear just how young I was and how my style changed over the years. These tracks mean a lot to me and they are so refreshed with the orchestral arrangements."[3]
It entered the UK Albums Chart at number 5, becoming Richard's 48th top 10 album.
