Charmed Life - The Best of The Divine Comedy
Set for release on February 4th 2022 - Pre-Order here
The Divine Comedy have added an extra show at The 3Olympia Theatre on Friday 20th May due to phenomenal demand. Tickets are on sale now from Ticketmaster Ireland.
Having now completed his third full decade as a recording artist, The Divine Comedy, aka Neil Hannon, has announced the treasure trove that is charmed Life - The Best Of The Divine Comedy - a collection of his finest moments, out February 4th 2022.
A 24 track career-spanning roster of hit singles and fan favourites, compiled by Neil and remastered at Abbey Road Studios, Charmed Life includes monumental tracks โNational Expressโ, โSomething For The Weekendโ, โSongs of Loveโ, โOur Mutual Friendโ, โA Lady of A Certain Ageโ, โTo The Rescueโ and โNorman and Normaโ. It also features brand new track โThe Best Mistakes.โ
โIโve been luckier than most,โ Neil Hannon reflected. โI get to sing songs to people for a living and they almost always applaud. So when asked what to call this collection I thought of Charmed Life. I like the song and it rather sums up how I feel about my life.โ
The Best Of will arrive as a 24 track standard 2CD; double heavyweight black vinyl in a gatefold sleeve; limited edition double heavyweight colour vinyl in a gatefold sleeve; and as a limited edition 3CD edition containing the 24 track Best Of as well as โSuper Extra Bonus Albumโ - a collection of new and unreleased recordings.
Discussing the bonus album, Neil continues: โIt felt right to celebrate thirty years of The Divine Comedy. I canโt give you an overview of these songs. Theyโre a crazy mixed up bunch. Some are strangely seasonal, some relate to what weโve all been going through recently, some are just nuts. Enjoy!โ
In 1990 musical history was made when a 20 year old Neil Hannon signed his first record deal and began releasing one glorious album after another under the name The Divine Comedy. Twelve magnificent albums and hundreds of spellbinding shows later, Neil Hannon is now, without doubt, a national treasure and one of the finest singer-songwriters of his generation.
The Divine Comedy will be out on tour from March 2022. Neil says: โI am so looking forward to playing live again. The last couple of years have been a reminder of how much it means to me personally. It really is my favourite thing. And it seems fitting that weโll be coming back with a greatest hits set. You know, in case everyoneโs forgotten who I am and what we do!โ
