New Single “Into the Sunset” with Mike Batt out now

Mike Batt and Bonnie Tyler have released – for the first time – a song they recorded in 1990 for ITV’s hit animation series The Dreamstone. The track was not included
in the original series because it was considered too “adult-romantic” for the narrative, but the remastered track is now released for the first time as a single.

The stunning power ballad represents one of Bonnie Tyler’s most emotive and powerful vocal performances, and Mike’s characteristic plaintive pop tenor voice mixes with it to represent the two principal characters – Rufus and Amberley of The Dreamstone – fighting against all odds to overcome the dangers and trials of a brutal world, to emerge victorious and united. Truly, coincidentally, a song of hope to resonate with today’s challenging times.

Mike said, “When we recorded this at Abbey Road and I heard Bonnie’s spectacular and heartfelt vocal, it was a real goosebump moment. She delivers her interpretation with such conviction. I’m so glad that it’s getting its moment “in the sun” – and it doesn’t seem to have dated, sonically.”

Bonnie added, “Mike writes such beautiful songs. One of my all time favourites is “Bright Eyes” that he wrote and produced for Art Garfunkel. So when he asked me to sing with him on “Into the Sunset” all those years ago I was honoured. I’m so happy it’s being released as a single now”.
