Acclaimed producer and songwriter Luke Mornay best known for his remixes for Kylie Minogue (a Grammy-nominated Billboard #1), The Killers, Robbie Williams, Kim Wilde, Superfinger, AL-Faris, Bob Marley and Amy Winehouse - to name but a few - Luke penned and produced his artist album TWENTY FIVE TEN.
The great A-League TWENTY FIVE TEN artist album features successful 18 track title collaborations with awarded superstar Kevin Godley (10 CC, Godley & Creme), Topmodel Roxy Horner, Nick Tart (Diamond Head), Rachael & James Akin (EMF), Lucy Pullin (The Isle of Man, Robbie Williams), Melanie Taylor, Flora, Phat Hat…to name a few.
Over the past two decades, Luke Mornay has shaped his musically driven signature sound around artists from a wide range of genres. This unpredictability not only brought him into unexpected scenes but also brought rave reviews for his work by press and fans of the artists, as well as a Grammy Award nomination and a couple of #1 records. From The Killers to Kylie or from the soulful Amy Winehouse to more obscure projects for composer extraordinaire Craig Armstrong, his interest has always been the challenge to develop new skills on each project, rather than having one sound for everything coming his way.. Luke’s Twenty five ten album (named as a homage to his mother’s birthdate) sees another turn in his career. His musical DNA is what’s radiating throughout his album. Luke’s album inspired by decades of influences and experiences. “...I spent years meeting people’s expectations, time felt right for me to meet my own. Going independent to produce my debut album has already fulfilled some of my dreams, I could go back to the roots of what got me into music and mix my various influences such as Supertramp, Earth Wind and Fire, Ray Parker Jr, Depeche Mode, 10cc, Chic, and the 80s in general. I’m a pop and funk lover. I see my album as a new born child, it’s the starting point, It feels like parenting, hoping the best for your kids and guide them throughout life events. It won’t please all and what’s great is that that’s not the point...” “..When it came to featurings on this album it was a natural choice to me to connect with artists such as Kevin Godley from the legendary band 10cc or James Atkin from EMF, as well as friends made over time such as Lucy Pullin (Craig Armstrong, Robbie Williams, Goldfrapp), Rachael Atkin (Fluke, Beauty School Drop Outs), PJ Hawn, Nick Tart (Diamond Head), Roxy Horner and John Bastianelli. I’m really proud of them and grateful for their generous inputs and help to support my project. There will be even more talents additions and surprises for an upcoming version of my album in its deluxe form...” “Besides my emotional motivation to get this project done, I really wanted this record to connect genres, eras & mix generations. Somehow connect the dots between timelines in a unified story, with its joyful & bonkers moments, with its own directions & contradictions, or more simply put: my story. “And at last but not least, the stage version of the album promises some incredible moments & surprises with hugely talented & experienced artists used to rocking stadiums, we are all in to deliver an experience… The next chapter of ‘Twenty Five Ten’ can begin.”
