Classic Pop | August 2025
In the latest issue of Classic Pop we have an exclusive interview with cover star Bryan Adams who reveals all about his feisty new album Roll With The Punches and why he’s still passionate about flying the flag for guitar music worldwide.
We also catch up with Tony Hadley to hear how his childhood inspirations in the family home have prompted his forthcoming tour of big band music that sees him tackling the crooners and reinventing some Spandau Ballet classics.
Belinda Carlisle tells us how her own memories of growing up in Los Angeles have fed into the song choices for her new covers LP, Once Upon A Time In California, plus CP revisits her classic album Heaven On Earth.
And we wipe a collective tear from our eyes as Saint Etienne say a fond farewell – we meet Sarah, Bob and Pete and hear how their star-studded International will be their final studio LP. With the A-list help of Vince Clarke, Nick Heyward and Confidence Man on board, the group are definitely going out on a high.
Elsewhere, Level 42’s Mark King and Mike Lindup look back on the band’s global breakthrough with 1985’s World Machine album and Justin Currie tells us about his emotive memoir The Tremolo Diaries.
We also put the back catalogue of Johnny Marr under the microscope for our Album By Album feature and Alison Goldfrapp gives us the lowdown on her latest solo record Flux.
In our packed reviews pages we give our verdict on new album releases including Madonna, Gary Numan, Alison Goldfrapp, Paul Weller, Wet Leg, Brian Eno & Beatie Wolfe, Robin Scott and Yungblood plus there’s a comprehensive reissues section featuring Scissor Sisters, OMD, Duran Duran, The Sisters Of Mercy, Talking Heads and much more. We also check out live shows by Kylie Minogue and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
