Classic Pop | September 2025
In the latest issue of Classic Pop we have a world exclusive interview with cover star Howard Jones as he looks back on his career as a synth innovator and celebrates the 40th anniversary of his Dream Into Action album with a new tour.
We also catch up with Nik Kershaw to talk about his life in music as he serves up new book Musings & Lyrics plus, ahead of the release of a forthcoming boxset compiling his years on the Epic and Creation labels, we speak to Nick Heyward to hear how he navigated a turbulent 1990s.
As Trevor Horn prepares to hit the road for a spoken word tour, he lets us in on some of his favourite moments shaping the sound of the 80s and we also remember how Art of Noise pushed forward without the help of the producer for their divisive third long-player In No Sense? Nonsense!
For our latest classic album feature, we see how Blur reinvented the band’s sound with their stunning self-titled LP from 1997. Elsewhere, Ian Broudie looks back on his 35 years at the helm of The Lightning Seeds as well as his production work with Alison Moyet, Echo And The Bunnymen and more.
We also put the back catalogue of The Charlatans under the microscope for our Album By Album feature and The Blow Monkeys’ Dr. Robert gives us the lowdown on the band’s latest LP Birdsong.
In CP’s packed reviews pages we give our verdict on new album releases including Saint Etienne, Bryan Adams, Suede, CMAT, Belinda Carlisle, Faithless, The Blow Monkeys and David Byrne plus there’s a comprehensive reissues section featuring Phil Collins, Marc And The Mambas, Terry Hall, Electronic, Jean-Michel Jarre and much more. We also check out live shows by Sparks, Oasis and Supergrass.
